Leg of Lamb
Usually, I can only find a
whole leg of lamb, which is way too much for this household of two, but this
week there was a half leg. Yes, that's
sort of gross, but I don't want to think about it. Anyway, I slapped it in the oven without much
fuss and it turned out deliciously, so I thought I'd share.
Leg of Lamb Recipe
- 1 tablespoon olive or canola
oil - 1/2 leg of lamb
- 2 lemons
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt & pepper
- Dried rosemary
- Dried oregano
Preheat the oven to 425
degrees. Spread oil in bottom of shallow
roasting pan. Slice the garlic cloves
into many small slivers and stuff into little cuts all over the roast. Squeeze lemon juice liberally over both sides
of lamb, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs. Set on a rack in pan and roast for about
seven minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees and cook 20 minutes per pound or
until the temperature reaches 145 for medium rare or 160 for medium well. Let rest before serving. Lamb gets tired after all that roasting.
