                    Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 (7- to 7 1/2-pound) leg of lamb  |  
                                                2 cloves garlic, minced  |  
                                                1 bay leaf, crushed  |  
                                                1 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon pepper  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon ground ginger  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon marjoram leaves  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon ground thyme  |  
                                                1 tablespoon soy sauce  |  
                                                1 tablespoon vegetable oil  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Remove the fell (tissue-like covering) from lamb with a sharp knife. Place lamb, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Make several small slits on outside of lamb; set aside. 2. Combine remaining ingredients; mix well. Rub mixture over surface of lamb. Insert meat thermometer, if desired. 3. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350°. Continue baking until desired degree of doneness: about 2 hours or 140° (rare); about 2 hours and 20 minutes or 160° (medium); about 2 hours and 40 minutes or 170° (well done). 4. Transfer lamb to a warm serving platter. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.                              |
