Ingredients
  

Lamb
  • 1 each bone-in leg of lamb about 5-6 pounds
Marinade
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon juice freshly squeezed

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
  3. Rub the marinade all over the leg of lamb, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
Cooking
  1. Place the marinated leg of lamb in a roasting pan and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.
  2. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  3. Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
  4. Slice and serve with your choice of sides.
