A Chef's Roasted Leg of Lamb Recipe (Plus Her Best

A good recipe for a roasted leg of lamb should be simple but memorable. One that may be served as an occasional centerpiece to guests on holidays like Easter, Christmas or Passover, yet easy enough to make for a lovely Sunday family dinner. This easy lamb recipe is just that.

This roasted leg of lamb recipe has a simple shopping list: a semi-boneless leg of lamb (read on to learn more about that), olive oil, fresh garlic, onion, kosher salt, rosemary leaves, black pepper, dry red wine and beef broth.

Now to share some of my best-kept secrets for cooking a leg a lamb! Cooking a no-fuss leg of lamb will largely depend on the communication with your butcher. Always order ahead and ask them to give you a semi-boneless leg of lamb specifically. This means the shank and blade bones have been removed, but the leg bone, which adds a lot of flavors, is still in the roast. This will help hold the meat together, so you don't have to tie it up, making it easier to carve than a fully bone-in leg of lamb. It also significantly cuts down on cooking time. Remove the lamb from the refrigerator about an hour before cooking so it comes closer to room temperature. This will also promote quicker cooking time.

Serve this roasted leg of lamb for dinner with your favorite side dishes.
