"A simple herb mixture on this roast provides irresistible flavor," relates Sharon Cusson of Augusta, Maine.

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°. Place lamb fat side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cut 12-14 slits 1/2 in. deep in roast. Combine garlic, thyme, marjoram, oregano, salt and pepper; spoon 2 teaspoons mixture into the slits. Brush roast with oil; rub with remaining herb mixture.
  • 2. Bake, uncovered, until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Let meat stand 15 minutes before slicing.
