INGREDIENTS
5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp olive oil
1 1/4 tsp kosher salt, more or less to taste
fresh ground black pepper
3 1/2 – 4 lb uncooked trimmed lamb leg, boneless, rolled and tied
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a rack in the pan.
Combine crushed garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper; mix well and rub mixture all over lamb.
Roast in the oven until medium-rare and a meat thermometer inserted in center reads 135-140ºF, anywhere from 70 minutes and up depending on the size of your roast.
Remove the lamb and let it rest about 15 minutes on a cutting board. Keep in mind the temperature will increase a few degrees once it rests.
Slice lamb into 1/4-inch thick slices and place on a serving platter.
