Mediterranean Leg Of Lamb Recipe for a Flavorful Feast

1. 1

   Marinate the Lamb

   In a bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the leg of lamb and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

   Longer marination enhances flavor.
2. 2

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

   Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
3. 3

   Prepare for Roasting

   Place the marinated lamb in a roasting pan. Pour the red wine and vegetable broth into the pan.

   This creates a flavorful base for the drippings.
4. 4

   Roast the Lamb

   Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

   Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
5. 5

   Baste the Lamb

   Baste the lamb with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist.

   This enhances the flavor and tenderness.
6. 6

   Rest the Meat

   Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

   Resting allows juices to redistribute.
7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the leg of lamb and serve with your favorite sides.

   Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
