This is a very simple but elegant way to prepare
a leg of lamb.
| 1 |
Leg of lamb 4-6 ilbs |
| 3 cloves |
garlic cit in slivers |
| 2 tsp |
dried rosemary or basil, crushed |
| 1/2 tsp |
ground black pepper |
| 1/2 cup |
dry red wine |
Trim any external fat off the leg, pat dry. Using a
sharp knife make deep slits in the meat inserting
garlic slivers in each slit. Mix the herbs and
pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the leg with red
wine and then rub the herb/pepper mix onto the
lamb. Bake (uncovered) at 400 degrees F for 15
minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 and cook
allowing about 25 minutes per pound. Baste every
20 minutes or so.
