Gigot De Sept Heures (French Seven Hour Roast Lamb) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 leg of lamb
    4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    20 whole garlic cloves, peeled
    56 ml olive oil
    salt and pepper
    2 small onions, thinly sliced
    4 carrots, peeled
    1 bouquet garni
    225 ml dry white wine
    225 g flour
    225 ml water
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 300 F/ 150\u00b0C.
    Make small incisions in the lamb and put a sliver of garlic inside each incision.
    Rub the lamb well with the olive oil and season all over with the salt and pepper.
    Place it in a Dutch oven and add the sliced onions, whole carrots, whole garlic cloves, bouquet garni and wine.
    Put the lid on the Dutch oven.
    In a medium bowl combine the flour and water to form a rough dough, mixing well with a wooden spoon. (Don't worry you don't have to eat it).
    Use the dough like grout to create a seal that connects the lid to the Dutch oven.
    Place in the oven and cook for 7 hours.
    Remove from the oven and break the seal.
    Serve.
