1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create a marinade.
2
Marinate the Lamb
Place the leg of lamb in a large resealable plastic bag or dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
4
Roast the Lamb
Remove the lamb from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Pour red wine around the lamb. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
5
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with your choice of sides.
