Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic-Herb Crust
From Cook's Country
An ideal roast leg of lamb should be tender and succulent, with a crust to complement the meat’s delicate flavor. But many roast leg of lamb recipes result in brown, rubbery meat. We wanted a Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic-Herb Crust recipe that was worthy of the holiday table. In lieu of pan-searing the lamb on the stove before roasting, we crisped the skin in the oven on high heat. Adding a bread crumb mixture and continuing to roast the lamb on lower heat gave us meat that was flavorful and juicy.
Serves 8 to 10
A semiboneless leg of lamb has had the hipbone removed to facilitate carving. This recipe makes enough bread crumbs to use for the Lemon Asparagus Casserole.
