Roast Leg of Lamb

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2. 2

   Make small incisions in the leg of lamb and insert the garlic slices into these cuts.

3. 3

   Rub the entire leg of lamb with olive oil, then season it evenly with salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary.

4. 4

   Place the leg of lamb in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare.

5. 5

   Halfway through the cooking time, pour the red wine over the lamb to add flavor and moisture.

6. 6

   Once the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it is moist and flavorful.

7. 7

   Carve the lamb into slices and serve.
