Rosemary-Mustard Leg of Lamb
- Ready In:
- 1hr 45mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
1 roast
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 3 1⁄2 lbs leg of lamb
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons mustard
directions
- Trim all fat off of lamb.
- Butterfly lamb. (I do this solely so it cooks quicker and more evenly).
- Place garlic in food processor and finely chop.
- Place remaining ingredients in the food processor and blend.
- Spread paste on outside of lamb. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
- Take lamb out of refrigerator and let sit for 1/2 hour or more to bring to room temperature.
- Place a digital thermometer in the thickest part of the lamb and set it for 155 (or desired temperature).
- Place the lamb in a 400 degree oven. After 15 minutes, turn the oven down to 350. Allow to cook. A decent estimate of time for this (or any roast) is 15 minutes plus 20 minutes for every pound.
- After the lamb is done cooking, pull it out of the oven and allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Carve and enjoy!

I went to college for engineering, now I am in software. I got married in August of 08 to a man who is amazingly perfect for me. We love to be together.
I like to cook and try new things, when I have time. I really want to figure out all the secrets to making food taste amazing, but without adding a bunch of butter or sugar to them. It is a long, slow, but rewarding journey.
