Time 2h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 garlic cloves
9 flat anchovy fillets, drained and patted dry
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
6 -7 lbs semiboneless leg of lamb, all but a thin layer of fat discarded and lamb tied (aitchbone removed)
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Marinate lamb:.
  • Mince garlic and anchovies and mash to a paste with a large heavy knife, then stir together with oil and rosemary in a small bowl. Pat lamb dry and transfer, fat side up, to rack in pan. Make several small 1-inch-deep slits in lamb with a paring knife, then rub marinade over entire surface of lamb, pushing some marinade into slits. Marinate lamb, loosely covered, at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Roast lamb:.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Sprinkle lamb all over with salt and pepper, then roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of lamb (almost to the bone but not touching it) registers 125°F for medium-rare, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours (temperatures in thinner parts of leg may register up to 160°F). Let stand 30 minutes before slicing.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I liked the flavor combination of the lamb, anchovies, and rosemary. However, I would make a few changes next time. I would use less anchovies and I would cook the lamb for a shorter amount of time.

The lamb was a bit tough.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less anchovies next time.

This is a great recipe for a special occasion. The lamb is roasted to perfection and the anchovy and rosemary sauce is divine. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a meal to remember.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of anchovies, but I'm so glad I did! The anchovies added a subtle salty flavor that really complemented the lamb. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

This rosemary lamb dish is a winner! The lamb was cooked to perfection and the anchovy and rosemary flavor combination was out of this world. I served it with some roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.
