Ingredients
Scale
- 1 boneless leg of lamb (about 5 lbs)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F.
- Pat the leg of lamb dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, mix garlic, olive oil, dijon mustard, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper until combined.
- Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire leg of lamb.
- Lay out 4-5 pieces of kitchen twine on a cutting board, spaced a few inches apart.
- Place the seasoned lamb on top of the twine and tie each piece snugly around it.
- Put the lamb in the oven and roast for 10 minutes at 475°F for a crispy crust.
- Lower the oven temperature to 375°F and continue roasting for about 70 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Transfer to a serving platter, cut the twine, and serve with sautéed carrots and peas.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the lamb overnight with the herb mixture.
Ensure proper doneness by using a meat thermometer.
Resting the lamb before slicing enhances tenderness.
