My first time cooking lamb, and it came out pretty good. I think maybe a little overcooked, but that would be user error. I really liked this marinade because of how well it stayed on the meat, some marinades are so watery that most drips off and is wasted. I made *Rosemary Red Potatoes* off this site as a side dish, and it was a perfect compliment! I'd also recommend lining your pan with foil - it makes clean up so much easier.

I made this recipe for the first time last year for easter dinner. It was also the first time I'd made or eaten lamb. This recipe is fabulous! I LOVE it i've made lamb several times since then and wont make it any other way.

What a great receipe!!!!!! I will make this over and over again! I didn't marinate the lamb over night but let it sit in the fridge for about 7 hours. The trick is to sear the meat at a high temperature to lock in the juice. I made this with greek style potatoes and sauted zucchini and tomatoes. Yummm! Thank you for a great recipe!

My first attempt at roasted leg of lamb and it was a hit! My husband even thought it was beef (he loves beef) lol I didn't have time to marinate overnight - just about 2 hrs and it was still great!

I made this for my family's Christmas Dinner. None of them had ever had lamb before. When making the marinade I thought the mustard would be too strong, but the finished product wasn't too strong. Instead of roasting it in the oven I seared it off and finished it in the slow cooker. My family also can't stand pink meat so it was far more well done then I like it, but it was still good. They all enjoyed it and I will definitly use this next time I do a lamb roast.

Since several people said that the meat did not take up the marinade, I used an injector to inject the marinade directly into the meat. I also slivered the garlic and pushed it into slits in the meat. Everyone loved this recipe. I will use this as my new recipe for leg of lamb.

I tried this recipe for Christmas dinner and it was absolutely tasty!! I used the 1 tbsp balsamic and lemon juice as suggested and I let it season for 2 days, the result was a flavorful, tasty and very mellow lamb. I will be making this again.

Amazing Recipe. I did make a few changes, I didn't have any honey and read some reviewers used maple syrup, so I changed that. I also used both lemon (juice of half a lemon) and lemon zest. While cooking I noticed that some of the sauce was burning on the side of the pan. I would occasionally add some water mixed with balsamic vinegar to the pan to help with that. I used 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 3/4 cup water and had the mix ready whenever I basted just in case I saw the sauce burning. I cooked at 450 for the first 20 minutes and 325 for the remaining until the meat thermometer read correctly. I basted every 20 minutes. The leftovers were better than the first day, probably because I poured the sauce over top and let it soak in after I cut the meat. My husband does not like lamb and even he enjoyed it.
