Eastern Lamb Roast Rub

If you plan to prepare a lamb shoulder roast or leg of lamb, here's a good pre-roasting rub which will boost the flavor of the end product. It's essentially a combination of both American and Asian blends. This is enough for a very large roast. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Yields: 1 batch

Ingredients

• 2  teaspoons seasoning salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon five-spice powder

Directions

1. Blend all the rub ingredients.
2. Rub this blend all over the roast.
3. Allow the roast to sit for a few minutes after applying the rub and prior to roasting.
4. Not all the rub will stick to the roast -- that's okay. Just use whatever sticks.
5. NOTE: I also like to melt a stick of butter and pour carefully over the roast once it has been seasoned and is in the roaster.
