Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Leg of lamb
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 piece Lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the leg of lamb dry with paper towels and place it on a large roasting pan.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade mixture evenly over the entire surface of the lamb. Make sure to coat all sides generously.
Let the lamb rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the lamb, avoiding any bones.
Place the lamb in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until the thermometer reads 130°F (54°C).
Remove the lamb from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
To serve, carve the lamb against the grain into thin slices and arrange on a platter garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
Enjoy your low sodium herb and garlic roasted lamb paired with your favorite low-sodium side dishes.
