Garlic-infused roasted
leg of lamb, a simple yet elegant entree to grace the holiday
table.
Leg
of Lamb
- 1 (6-pound) leg of lamb
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried oregano
- Cut slits in the lamb,
insert garlic slices and rub with olive oil. Season with salt,
pepper and oregano. Place in an oven-roasting bag and refrigerate
overnight to let the flavors set in.
- Once lamb has finished
marinating, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake, covered, for 2 1/2
to 3 hours or until meat thermometer inserted into the center
reads 145°F. Uncover during the last 45 minutes so it can
brown.
Makes 12 servings.
