Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 (4 pound) boneless leg of lamb

Directions

  1. In a blender or spice mill, combine the seasonings; cover and process until coarsely ground. Untie leg of lab and unroll. Rub spice blend over both sides of meat. Reroll and tie with kitchen string.
  2. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145 degrees F; medium, 160 degrees F; well-done, 170 degrees F). Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
