Rosemary Mustard Roast Leg of Lamb Recipe

Below is my easy to follow recipe for making a delicious rosemary mustard roast leg of lamb.  To make this flavorful leg of lamb you will want to place several slivers of garlic into your leg of lamb and then place your mustard, garlic, rosemary, sat and pepper into a mixing bowl and mix your ingredients together and then coat your leg of lamb with your mixture and roast until roasted to perfection.  I suggest roasting your leg of lamb rare.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons of whole grain mustard
4 large garlic cloves, 2 minced and 2 cut into slivers
1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon of Kosher salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (6 to 7 lb.) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and tied

Instructions:

You will want to begin this recipe by taking a small mixing bowl and adding in your mustard, minced garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper and whisk your ingredients together.  Then take a sharp knife and use the tip of the knife to make several incisions all over your leg of lamb.  Then insert your garlic slivers into each incision.  Now take a pastry brush and completely brush all sides of your leg of lamb with the mustard, garlic and rosemary mixture.  Then wrap your leg of lamb in foil and place it in the refrigerator and let it sit for 4 to 6 hours.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.

Now remove your leg of lamb from the refrigerator and remove and throw away the foil.  Then place your leg of lamb in a large roasting pan, put your oven rack in the lower third of your oven, and then place your roasting pan in your oven and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the lamb is 135 degrees F. for rare, or 145 degrees F. for medium.  Then remove your lamb from the oven and place your leg of lamb on a platter and cover it with foil tightly and let it rest for about 20 minutes.  Then carve your rosemary mustard roast leg of lamb and serve right away.
