Impress guests—or just your family—with this easy yet looks-like-you-went-to-a-lot-of-trouble leg of lamb.
You Will Need
- A roasting pan
- A chef’s knife
- A small bowl
- A wooden spoon
- A 7-lb. leg of lamb
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- A meat thermometer
- 1/4 c. dry red wine
- Mint jelly
Step 1: Trim fat
Trim the excess fat from your leg of lamb and place it into a roasting pan, fat side up.
If possible, purchase your lamb from a local farm or farmer’s market. It will likely have a more distinct and clean flavor.
Step 2: Mince garlic
Mince the garlic as finely as possible.
Step 3: Mix seasonings
Mix the oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, and then rub the mixture all over the lamb. Let the lamb sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
Feel free to add any other herbs you like to this recipe.
Step 4: Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Step 5: Roast the lamb
Put the lamb in the oven and let it roast for about an hour and a half—or until your meat thermometer reads 130° (or medium rare).
Baste the lamb with its own juices every 20 minutes.
Step 6: Let sit
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Step 7: Move lamb
Remove the lamb from the pan and put it onto a cutting board.
Step 8: Make au jus
Spoon off fat from the roasting pan, then add the wine and boil it over medium heat for about a minute.
Step 9: Serve
Carve the lamb and serve it with the juices and mint jelly.
Lamb became the traditional Easter dinner for the Pope during the Middle Ages.

This looks delicious, but the bunny suit chef for some reason reminds me of Johnny Drama from entourage :-)
