Leg of Lamb

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 3-4 pound leg of lamb
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 lemon
  • 50 gram margarine
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 350F.
  • Peel the garlic, and slice each clove lengthwise in three pieces. Poke holes in the meat in several places. Push the garlic in the holes.
  • Rub the meat first with the lemon, then with the margarine and the herbs, salt and pepper.
  • Put the thermometer in the thickest part, so that the tip is not too close to the bone. Put the lamb leg on a rack, in a baking pan. Roast until the thermometer shows 77C. Rule of thumb: Calculate about 45 minutes of oven time per kilo of meat.
