How Do You Roast Leg Of Lamb With Rosemary Lime Marinade?
Leg of lamb is an impressive dish to serve for a special dinner or family occasion. While it may look elegant, it’s simple to prepare. The key is to marinate overnight and not to overcook, so that the delicate flavor of the meat is preserved. Many lamb marinades call for citrus, because the acid helps to break down any toughness in the meat. Lime is a nice variation and provides a tangy, subtle flavor. You can use either bone-in or boneless leg of lamb with good results. Combine marinade ingredients in bowl, stirring with fork or whisk until blended. Place roast in the plastic bag, and pour marinade in. Close bag securely and knead the roast gently to work the marinade into the meat. Place in refrigerator overnight. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place lamb, fat side up, in large roasting pan. Pour any extra marinade around lamb. Place lamb in the oven and immediately turn down the heat to 350 degrees F. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a thermometer insert
