Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place a roasting rack in a roaster pan and set aside, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Snip or poke small holes in the lamb and insert the garlic slivers all over the roast.

Step 2

Coat the lamb all over with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, seasoning well with the salt and pepper. Put the rosemary springs on top of roast inserting a few small picked leaves here and there into the holes with the garlic.

Step 3

Place the lamb roast on the rack and bake in the preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the lamb roast and tent with tin foil letting it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.

It is rare to find fresh Lamb, especially Australian but I lucked out! I followed this recipe to the letter. My leg was boneless and a bit over 3 pounds so roasted it for 1 hour 45 minutes. Just pink the way I love it.

Talk about melt in your mouth delicious! I'd never made lamb before, so I tried to find the simplest recipe. Not only is this easy, it's so darn good I have to admit I ate three slices at Christmas dinner even with everything else! Mine was just shy of six pounds, so I used 5 cloves of garlic and let it roast a little over two hours, and it was divine.
