Roast Leg of Lamb Nugget Markets signature recipes

For a stunning centerpiece for your feast, serve this succulent, herbaceous leg of lamb on a bed of crushed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 leg of lamb
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh garlic, chopped, to taste
  • 1 bunch Italian parsley, chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place herbs, seasonings, and olive oil in a work bowl and mix until well-combined, then spread evenly over leg of lamb. Place lamb into a roasting pan.

Roast on the center rack for about 1 hour, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the lamb reads:

  • 120–125°F for rare
  • 130–135°F for medium-rare
  • 140–145°F for medium
  • 150–155°F for medium-well
  • 160–165°F for well done

Remove lamb from the oven and let rest approximately 20 minutes.
