Ingredients:

 

  • 1 (5-6 lb) leg of lamb
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup chicken or beef broth

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

    2. Prepare the leg of lamb:

      • In a small bowl, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
      • Rub the mixture all over the leg of lamb, ensuring it's well coated.
    3. Roast the lamb:

      • Place the leg of lamb in a roasting pan or oven-safe dish. Pour the broth around the lamb.
      • Roast uncovered in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours (depending on the size of the lamb and desired doneness). Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
    4. Rest and serve:

      • Remove the leg of lamb from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
      • Serve with the pan juices drizzled over the slices of lamb.
