1 leg of lamb (about 6lbs)
4 garlic cloves (sliced)
20 whole garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
salt & pepper
2 small onions (thinly sliced)
4 carrots (peeled)
1 bouquet garni
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup flour (may need more depending on humidity levels)
1 cup water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300°F
Make many small incisions in lamb, place slivers of garlic in each incision.
Rub lamb well with olive oil, season with salt & pepper. (At this point I would brown the lamb on all sides-but that's not necessary.)
Place it in Dutch oven and add onions, carrots, bouquet garni, garlic, wine. Put lid on Dutch oven.
Combine flour and water, make a 'caulk' and use it to seal the lid to the dutch oven.
Place it in the 300 degree oven and cook for 7 hours. Yes, 7 hours. (no peeking--leave it alone.).
Remove the Dutch oven and break the seal. You don't have to eat the cooked flour paste.
