1. Cut the smoked meat and carrots into sticks. Quarter the onions and shallots.
2. In a bowl, dilute the vinegar with 100 ml water. Add the white wine, carrots, smoked meat, onions, pressed garlic, herbs and spices. Stir well and season with salt and pepper.
3. Place the leg of lamb in the marinade. Refrigerate for 24 hours, turning every 6 hours.
4. Remove the leg of lamb from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade.
