Equipment
- Meat Thermometer
- roasting pan or sheet pan with rack
Ingredients
- 1 4-5 lb. Fox Trot Farm Bone-in Leg of Lamb thawed, rinsed, & patted dry
- 1 tsp. ground dry mustard
- 1 tsp. ground dry ginger
- 3 tbsp. finely minced rosemary needles
- 2 tbsp. fresh mint leaves
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
Instructions
- Combine all the above ingredients except the meat in a small bowl to make a thick paste. Rub the paste all over the meat, pushing it into crevices, until the entire roast is coated.
- Place in a plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, but overnight is best.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Take the roast out of the plastic bag and place it on a rack over a foil-covered sheet pan. Place meat thermometer in thickest part of roast, being careful not to put it against the bone.
- Roast at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the thermometer reads 135 degrees for medium rare. (The amount of time will depend on the size of your roast.)
- Remove from oven, cover lightly with foil, then lay a heavy kitchen towel over top. Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes. If you slice it sooner, the juices will pour out.
- Slice and arrange on a platter. Pour any escaped juices over the top
