Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 (5 1/2 pound) boneless leg of lamb, tied in netting

  • 20 cloves garlic, peeled, or more to taste

  • garlic powder, or to taste

  • 10 fresh rosemary sprigs


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Cut 20 deep slits evenly spaced around the leg of lamb without cutting the netting. Stuff a garlic clove into each slit. Rub garlic powder over lamb. Slice rosemary sprigs; place under the netting evenly around lamb. Transfer lamb into a roasting pan.

  3. Roast lamb in the preheated oven until reddish-pink and juicy in the center for medium-rare, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Cover in aluminum foil; rest meat until thermometer reads 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) before carving.
