Awesome Herb Roast Leg of Lamb image

An herb rub makes this leg of lamb so good! I always knew it was Easter when my mom made it, and the whole house smells awesome when it's cooking. It's the only recipe I specifically asked for when I moved out on my own.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried sage
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bay leaf
2 pounds leg of lamb

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Mix garlic, salt, pepper, ginger, thyme, sage, add marjoram in a bowl. Stir soy sauce and vegetable oil into the garlic mixture until loosely paste-like; add the bay leaf.
  • Cut slits into the lamb on all sides. Rub herb mixture over entire surface of lamb, massaging it into the slits. Put lamb in a roasting pan.
  • Roast lamb until browned on the outside and red in the center, about 50 minutes for rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Cover lamb loosely with aluminum foil and cool about 20 minutes before carving.
