Delicious Slow Roasted Leg Of Lamb Recipe | Mediterranean

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 leg lamb (bone-in)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon thyme, fresh (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

    A well-preheated oven ensures even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.

    Letting the marinade sit for a few minutes enhances the flavors.
  3. Coat the Lamb

    Rub the marinade all over the leg of lamb, covering it well.

    For best results, marinate overnight in the fridge.
  4. Place in Roasting Pan

    Place the lamb in a roasting pan, fat side up.

    Using a rack can help with even cooking.
  5. Roast the Lamb

    Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender.

    Baste every hour with the pan juices for moisture.
  6. Rest the Meat

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

    Resting allows the juices to redistribute.
