Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard. I used a combination of smooth and whole grain Dijon.
- 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Put everything into a jar that just fits the head of your immersion blender.
- Place the head of the blender at the bottom of the jar and turn it on. Wiggle the head a bit to get everything nice and thick.
- Use immediately or keep your mustard coating in an airtight container in the refrigerator until needed.
Cup of Yum
to use on a leg of lamb
- Trim excess fat from your leg of lamb. Spread the mustard coating thickly over the entire leg, on all sides. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Roast the lamb at 350°F (177°C) for 20-22 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Notes
- Recipe lightly adapted from Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
