Leg of lamb is much like a beef roast - it is tender and juicy. I like lamb because the meat really absorbs the flavor of whatever spices you are using. This recipe for roast leg of lamb is really simple and perfect if you don't have a lot spices on hand.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours

Total Time: 2 hours, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Leg of lamb
  • kosher salt
  • pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Preparation:

Trim lamb of excess fat and rinse under cold water. Place in roasting pan and sprinkle with kosher salt. Rub with minced garlic.

Roast in a 325 degree oven until golden brown. Remeber to baste every 30-45 minutes with pan drippings. You want to roast it for about 30 minutes per pound.
