Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 (2 1/2-pound) boneless leg of lamb*
1 tablespoon plus 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

Spread herb mixture evenly over lamb, then fold lamb back into original shape and tie with string at 1-inch intervals. Pat lamb dry and transfer to a small roasting pan. Rub lamb with oil and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
