Mustard-Coated Roast
Leg of Lamb
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon dry rosemary
- 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil

place in a small bowl and stir in mustard, soy sauce, ginger,
rosemary, and oil. Set aside.

Cut remaining 2 garlic cloves into slivers. Cut small slashes
in surface of meat and insert garlic slivers. Brush meat with
mustard mixture, coating completely. Let stand at room temperature
for 1 hour.
- Roast in a 325°F (160°C) oven
until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of meat
(not touching bone) registers 135°F to 140°F
(60°C) for rare, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Transfer meat to a platter; keep warm.
- Skim and discard fat from pan juices;
reheat juices and pour into a small serving dish.
- To carve, grasp narrow end of leg (protect
your hand with a pot holder) and slice meat, cutting parallel
to bone. Offer juices to spoon over individual servings.
