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. Ingredients:
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon ground dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon dried sage |
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram |
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 bay leaf |
2 pounds leg of lamb |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
