Simple but delicious. You may use dried herbs if desired- substitute 1/3 of the amount called for fresh (just make sure the dried herbs are not old).

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 7h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 lb) boneless leg of lamb
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
5 -6 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano
2 -3 bay leaves
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
assorted root vegetables (optional)

Steps:

  • Remove bone and fell from lamb, if necessary.
  • Piece together and tie with kitchen twine.
  • Mix remaining ingredients and pour over lamb, coating it thoroughly (make additional marinade if needed).
  • Marinate lamb 6 hours or preferably, overnight.
  • Drain marinade and allow lamb to warm (remove a lot of the chill).
  • Place lamb (along with root vegetables, if desired) in roasting pan and roast at 450F for approximately 15 minutes, then reduce oven heat to 350F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer reads 145-150F for medium rare, or 160F+ for well done, allowing that the meat will raise about 5 degrees as it rests after cooking.
  • Start checking your meat temp with the instant read thermometer at about 20-25 minutes per pound.
  • Allow the roast to rest undisturbed for about 25 minutes before carving.
  • Reduce any drippings, if desired, to serve with the lamb.
