Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Place the leg of lamb into a heavy-based casserole. Add onions and top with thyme, orange and lemon rind.
Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle generously with olive oil.
Cover tightly with lid and cook for 1 hour 40 minutes for a medium-sized lamb. Allow another 20 minutes if necessary.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Cut the oranges in half and sprinkle with a little brown sugar. Place on a baking tray under the grill until the sugar starts to caramelise.
Place next to lamb and serve sliced lamb with pan juices and squeezed orange juice.
