"Cooking peeled potatoes in the pan around the roast is yummy. The only other things you need are gravy made from the pan drippings and a fresh vegetable."

Original Recipe Yield 1 leg of lamb
 

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 5 pounds leg of lamb

Directions

  1. Cut slits in the top of the leg of lamb every 3-4 inches, deep enough to push slices of garlic down into the meat. Salt and pepper generously all over the top of lamb, place several sprigs of fresh rosemary under and on top of the lamb.
  2. Roast at 325-350 degrees F (165-175 degrees C) until the lamb is cooked to medium well. Do not overcook the lamb, the flavor is best if meat is still slightly pink.
