Hey, It's Sunday!!

Roast Leg of Lamb

Baked potatoes and lima beans are what my mom did with this.

1 Leg of Lamb 5-6 pounds (Whole or Boned)
3 Large cloves of garlic
5 Tbsp. Fresh Herbs (Rosemary, Parsley, Thyme, Oregano are good choices)
3 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt & Pepper to Taste


Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Slice the garlic cloves into three or four long strips, and with a sharp knife, make 1-inch deep slits into the lamb spaced fairly evenly apart. Place a piece of garlic in each slit. Chop the herbs and mix with the olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Rub the herb mixture over the outer surface of the lamb. Place in a roaster pan, and cook for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees, and cook an additional 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the meat thermometer reads 130°F. for medium rare. If you are cooking a roast bone-in, the roast will require a little longer cooking time than a boneless roast. Remove the lamb from the oven, and tent or cover with aluminum foil and let sit about 20 minutes before carving.

Serve it up !!! with some mint jelly, good bread and some red wine!
