Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece bone-in leg of lamb (approximately 4-6 pounds)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken or beef broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to create a marinade.
  3. Rub the marinade all over the leg of lamb, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  4. Place the lamb in a roasting pan and pour the broth around it.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

Notes

Serve with roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for 3 months. Reheat in the oven at low temperature.
