A Lamb Roast with garlic and rosemary is an elegant main dish that is easier to cook than you think. Doesn’t this look scrumptious?
Sliced leg of lamb roast is good with a little mint jelly.
Lamb Roast, accompanied by new potatoes and spring asparagus, makes a wonderful meal.
Did you know that May 7 is National Leg of Lamb Day? We like our Lamb Roast baked in the oven with rosemary and garlic. And we usually buy it with the bone removed, which makes carving it easier. We leave it rolled while cooking, and remove the netting to carve and serve. Sprinkle with rosemary, cut a few slits and insert sliced garlic, and bake. Simple.
A boneless leg of lamb comes wrapped in a net.
Use a meat thermometer and you’ll know when the meat is cooked to your liking. The temperature should be 140F degrees for rare and 175F degrees for well done.
What You Need
You will need a small knife, a shallow pan with a rack, and a meat thermometer (I like the kind that can be left in the oven the whole time).
