Roasted Leg of Lamb with Garlic & Herbs


​Hello Reader,​

This herb-roasted boneless leg of lamb uses a simple garlic and herb rub and a two-step roasting method for even cooking and balanced flavor. It's an ideal choice for entertaining.

Herb Roasted Boneless Leg of Lamb

The lamb is seasoned inside and out with a garlic, olive oil, and fresh herb rub, then rolled and tied for uniform roasting. A high-heat start builds a browned crust, while a lower temperature ensures tender, juicy slices that carve cleanly.
