6-8 servings servings

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 1 hr 30 min

Ingredients:

• 4-5lb boneless leg of lamb
• fresh rosemary
• 6-8 garlic cloves
• salt
• black pepper
• olive oil

Instructions:

• 1. Remove boneless leg of lamb from the fridge about 30 minutes before you plan to roast it.
• 2. Preheat oven to 400F. Remove plastic wrap from the lamb, but leave the mesh netting.
• 3. Peel garlic cloves, slice in half to make 12-16 garlic slivers. Strip some sprigs of rosemary from the main stalk. Using a sharp knife, pierce into the lamb and stuff a garlic or rosemary sprig into the whole. Alternate and cover as much of the top of the lamb as you can. Rub olive oil over the whole roast.
• 4. Place in a roasting tin and put in the oven. Roast until a meat thermometer says the internal temperature is 145F for medium roast. Approximately 20 mins per pound so a 4lb roast will take approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. Once the lamb has reached the temperature, remove from oven, tent with foil and let rest for 10-12 minutes. You can then cut away the string with kitchen shears and carve the lamb.
