Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 leg of lamb (7 to 9 pounds)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic, salt and rosemary; rub over lamb. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Place lamb, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
  2. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours longer or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting occasionally with pan juices. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
