Broiled & Slow-Roasted Butterflied Leg of Lamb With Cumin and Garlic

Submitted by: USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson 
Who says making a feast has to take forever? For large gatherings like Passover and Easter, leg of lamb is the roast of choice, and arranged on a platter garnished with herbs, it makes a stunning centerpiece. Buying leg of lamb butterflied from the butcher will leave you time to socialize while it is slow-roasting without worrying about uneven cooking.

The magic is in the marinade - orange juice, white wine, and fresh herbs make the lamb tender, moist, and flavorful.

My Nana owned several restaurants in the New York area in the mid-1900's and this was one of her favorites. We always serve it at Easter. When the lamb is done, you can make a gravy with the juices by adding flour and water and boiling until thickened.

Dried plums and currants tossed with salted, roasted almonds, creme de cassis, and mint is the stuffing for my rolled lamb roast. It's a very easy way to dress up a lamb roast during the holidays. The simple herb rub adds just the right amount of seasoning along with fresh garlic inserted into the top of the roast. My balsamic basil fig sauce creation drizzled over the sliced lamb is the perfect finishing touch and extremely flavorful thanks to the fresh basil.
