Trim the fat off the leg of lamb. Scrub the meat with the lemon, cut in half. Spread salt and pepper over it.

In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, thyme, rosemary, paprika and curry. Brush this mixture over the meat. Pour the wine over the meat, and let marinate for about 4 hours.

In a slightly greased baking pan, place the meat, add the vegetables (onions cut in halves, onions cut in eight, carrots cut in one inch sticks, tomatoes cut in eight, and sliced garlic).

Sprinkle with the marinade sauce. Baste the meat with some extra olive oil. Bake in moderate heat for about 1h 45 min, basting every 30 min. with the sauce in the bottom of the baking pan.

If necessary, increase the heat in the last 20 min, to lightly brown the meat and vegetables.
