Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Leg of lamb, bone-in
- 6 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 Lemon, zested and juiced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 cups Vegetables of choice (e.g., carrots, onions, potatoes), chopped
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Place the leg of lamb on a large baking tray or roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to make small slits all over the lamb. Rub the marinade thoroughly into the lamb, ensuring it gets into the slits for maximum flavor.
Arrange the chopped vegetables around the lamb in the roasting pan. Pour the chicken or vegetable stock into the pan to add moisture during roasting.
Cover the lamb loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for about 1.5 hours (90 minutes), basting the lamb with the juices in the pan every 30 minutes.
After 90 minutes, remove the foil to allow the lamb to brown. Roast for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the lamb reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium on a meat thermometer.
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender roast.
Slice the lamb and serve it alongside the roasted vegetables. Pour any remaining pan juices over the slices for added flavor.
