This recipe was a disaster! The lamb was tough and the mint marinade was overpowering. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The lamb was a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lamb turned out amazing! It was so tender and juicy, and the mint marinade gave it a really nice flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but this recipe changed my mind. The mint marinade really mellowed out the flavor of the lamb and made it very enjoyable. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The lamb was tender and juicy, and the mint marinade gave it a wonderful flavor. I served it with roasted vegetables and a mint sauce, and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lamb turned out perfectly. The mint marinade was a nice change from the traditional rosemary and garlic. Will definitely make this again.

I've tried many leg of lamb recipes, but this one is by far the best. The mint marinade is genius, and it really takes the flavor of the lamb to the next level. Highly recommend!

This mint marinated leg of lamb was a hit at our last dinner party! The meat was tender and flavorful, and the mint marinade gave it a refreshing twist. I'll definitely be making this again.
