Herb Crusted Leg Of Lamb Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lamb

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a herb paste.

2. 2

   Season the Lamb

   Rub the herb paste all over the leg of lamb, ensuring it is evenly coated. Place the lamb in a roasting pan.

3. 3

   Roast the Lamb

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

4. 4

   Make the Au Jus

   While the lamb is roasting, prepare the au jus. In a saucepan, combine red wine and beef or lamb stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce for about 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. 5

   Rest and Serve

   Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with au jus and mint jelly on the side.
