Basic Roasted Leg of Lamb
A friend of mine from Oz uses this method for preparing a leg of lamb.
1 Leg of Lamb
Fresh Garlic (1-2 cloves)
Fresh rosemary
Olive oil
dried rosemary
Cut off excess fat from leg of lamb, leaving some for flavour and drippings while the lamb cooks.
Stab small holes with a knife and insert thin slices of garlic cloves deeply into each.
Make a few more holes, and insert small sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Rub the lamb with olive oil and sprinkle with dried rosemary.
Place on a wire rack in large roasting pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook lamb for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350 and continue to cook 20 minutes per pound for a medium doneness.
Remove from oven, cover with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
