Garlic Rosemary Roast Pastured Leg of Lamb

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Let the lamb sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425F.

  2. 2

    Make small slits over the roast and tuck in the garlic slivers. Rub all over with olive oil, rosemary, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Roast at 425F for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350F and roast about 55-65 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 135F for medium.

  4. 4

    Rest, tented with foil, for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Notes

Farm tip: Pastured lamb is leaner than commodity lamb — use a thermometer and pull it at 135F so it stays juicy.

Serving suggestion: Serve with roasted potatoes, carrots, and a spoonful of mint sauce.
