Delicious! I had a four pound leg, bone-in, and it was incredible! Fortunately for us, it was only for two people, so we had PLENTY of leftovers. Makes a great sandwich, too! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Taste buds went to heaven! We used a boneless leg of lamb, just under 7lbs. We added 1/4 c Balsamic vinegar, 1/4 c olive oil, and substituted 1 teaspoon lemon juice in place of lemon zest. We slit the roast about an inch deep all over the top and inserted lots of slivers of fresh garlic; marinated for 2 days and sprinkled with regular salt. We placed the lamb on a rack in a covered roasting pan, added cut up potatoes and carrots, baked at 350 for 2 hours, basting every 20 - 30 minutes. We didn't need to place marinade in the middle as others suggested, and also didn't need to add water to the bottom of the pan. We will add at least one cup of water to make gravy in the future. Moist, flavorful dish! The ingredients were a perfect blend.

Excellent recipe! Everyone I made it for absolutely loved it. I made gravy from the pan drippings, but didn't even need it. The lamb was so moist & flavorful. A great dish I will be making often.

This reciepe is Great! I had never made a roast leg of lamb, but wanted to have a go at making one. So i followed the recipe, (used lemon juice instead) did as instructed and it turned out to be delicious! Very moist, tender & full of flavour! I would definately recommend trying this recipe. You can't go wrong!

This is a heavenly dish! I have never cooked a lamb leg before and this was outstanding! My husband was very, very impressed. I added 2 cups of water to the bottom of the pan as suggested by others, cooked it at 400F covered for 20 min. and then at 350F for 1 hr 45 min, turning the meat over every 15-20 min. I did not tent it with foil since the baking dish came with a lid. For gravy, I added a bit of red wine and some corn starch mixed with water. The gravy was delicious but a little too strong tasting so next time I will water it down some. Excellent over mashed potatoes. I'm curious to try it next time with lemon juice and balsamic vinegar in the marinade, openning the leg up and putting the marinade in the middle, marinating for 2 days instead of 1 and then tying up the leg before baking. What can I say, I read a lot of the reviews and plan to combine several of the great ideas submitted by others!

I used lemon juice instead of grating the zest and added a little thyme. Really good.

Keep in mind that I HATE lamb, but my hubby loves it, so I decided to make him a leg of lamb...Yuck. Well, this recipe was definitely a hit with hubby and two sons, one of whom is so finicky, he only heats pizza and mac & cheese! So, naturally, I had to try some. I don't know why, but this was the first time the lamb didn't have that awful gamey taste...I ACTUALLY LIKED IT! Thanks so much for this recipe!

I made this recipe for Xmas, and it was outstanding. My only problem was that the meat was underdone, though I used a thermometer. Next time, I'll cook it a little longer. I agree with the reviewers who suggest putting balsamic vinegar in the marinade, injecting cloves of garlic in the meat, and using water at the bottom of the pan. I made a mistake with the leftovers, though. I don't have a microwave, so I reheated the meat in my oven, but that made it tough and dry. Next time, I'll slice the servings and heat them briefly in a teflon frying pan with a touch of olive oil. That should take the chill off without overcooking the meat. Anyway, delicious recipe!

I had my doubts about this recipe as the marinade ingredients were all very powerful and I was not sure they would combine too well. Boy was I wrong, we spent the whole evening in the kitchen just enjoying the smells, and that was just when the meet was in the fridge marinating. Then we had the next pleasure of even better smells the next afternoon, while the lamb was cooking. Finally we were put out of our misery and I actually served the meal, I served the lamb with mustard mash and various green vegetables, more or less a traditional English Sunday dinner, and it was absolutely delicious. Many thanks for this recipe, as you can probably tell I am a novice cook, this was actually only my second dish, cooked for my family, I am trying to get into cooking as a hobby, something I have always wanted to do. Now onto the next recipe, where is that search button. Garry Smith

Used this recipe for the 1st time my Mum & Dad came over to my new place. Mum = Cookery teacher impossible to please when it comes to food Dad = Very Fussy nothing spicey or with garlic or with onions or anything with a bit of flavour!! I loved this recipe so easy and tasted great even though I only let it marinade for about 2 hours. My mum asked for the recipe (at last something she didnt know how to do better!! AND got a "not bad at all" out of my Dad which means it MUST have been Fantastic!! (Even with the garlic!) Have tried it since leaving it to marinade longer and it only makes it better (and swapped lemon for lime because its all I had different flavour but just as good!)

This was just ok for me. I guess I thought that the marinade, because it was sweet and lemony, would be best on some other meat. I was hoping that the predominant flavors would be the dijon, rosemary, and garlic after it was cooked, but all I could taste was the honey and lemon which just seemed odd on lamb to me. Thanks anyways.

I actually did two lamb legs, each about 4 lbs. and adjusted the recipe online for 12 people. The first leg was much more tough and had more fat on it and I didn't care for it much. But, the second leg was much more tender and juice, even after zapping it in the microwave! I followed almost all advice and put 2 cups of water in the pan (still did burn a little), put tin foil over for the first 20 min at 450 degrees and then after another hour turned the temp down to about 330 degrees. I will use the recipe again, but I will be careful how fatty the meat is and I might try one readers suggestion and cook in an oven bag for 2 hrs. at 300 degrees - might be more tender. Overall, it was pretty good and all my guests thought it was really good.

I made this lamb tonight and the top started to get very black after the first 20 minutes, I didn't use a foil tent like others had suggested since I wanted to give the recipe a go as is first. My roast was just a tad under five pounds and I cooked it as suggested and it was leaning towards rare. I think maybe 425 degrees for the first twenty minutes then maybe 375ish the rest and cook for maybe 15-20 minutes longer??? The bottom of the pan got very burned and dry also, maybe needs some liquid? This had a good taste and with a few tweaks I will make this again.

This was excellent. I made only slight alterations to the recipes. I injected garlic cloves into the meat. I also lowered my oven to 325 immediately when I put the lamb in. No other modifications. Used a thermometer to check doneness. Very flavorful. I will certainly make this again.

My husband wouldn't stop raving about this delicious recipe! The flavors are wonderful together! I did have to cook it longer because we like it more on the medium side. The only thing I would suggest is to put a little water in the pan so the marinade/drippings do not burn. I will definitely make again. Thanks!
