Roast Leg of Lamb with Lemon, Garlic, and Rosemary image

The longer the lamb marinates in the seasoning paste, the better flavor you'll have. Anywhere from 1 to 24 hours will work, but overnight is best. Slice the leftovers for pita stuffed sandwiches topped with tabbouleh.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Tips:

  • Choose the right lamb: Select a boneless leg of lamb that is about 5-6 pounds. Look for a leg that is bright red in color and has a firm, even texture.
  • Trim the lamb: Remove any excess fat from the lamb. You can also score the lamb's surface with a sharp knife to help the marinade penetrate.
  • Make the marinade: Combine the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Marinate the lamb: Place the lamb in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Prepare the glaze: While the lamb is marinating, make the cranberry glaze. Combine the cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until the cranberries are softened and the glaze has thickened.
  • Roast the lamb: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the lamb in a roasting pan and cook for about 2 hours, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the lamb. It should be 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, and 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • Glaze the lamb: Remove the lamb from the oven and brush with the cranberry glaze. Return the lamb to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the glaze is set and bubbly.
  • Let the lamb rest: Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
