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.

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.
