Leg of Lamb
Description
The Leg of Lamb is prepared by infusing it with aromatic flavors through a combination of fresh rosemary, black pepper, sea salt, and whole garlic cloves pressed into the meat. The dry rub is generously applied over all sides, enhancing the roast with herbal and savory notes.
The lamb is roasted uncovered in a baking dish at 350°F for about 90 minutes, with the last 20 minutes covered to prevent drying. Cooking to an internal temperature of 145°F allows the meat to stay juicy and tender while gaining a nicely browned exterior.
Once rested for 10 minutes after roasting, slicing reveals a flavorful roast ready to be served as a centerpiece for a meal. The rosemary and garlic blend offers an earthy, pungent complement to the naturally rich lamb.
