Easy Roast Leg of Lamb

Recipe View Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (15 minutes)

Recipe View Thoroughly rub the leg of lamb with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Using a small, sharp knife, make small incisions about 1 inch apart all over the lamb. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Insert a sliver of garlic into each incision, pushing it about 1/2 inch below the surface. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Place the lamb in a roasting pan. Either remove the rosemary leaves from the stalk, finely chop, and rub into the lamb, or secure the rosemary sprigs to the lamb with kitchen twine. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the lamb, ensuring it's well coated. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. (45 minutes)

Recipe View Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C) and continue roasting for approximately 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare. (15 minutes)

Recipe View For a more well-done lamb, continue cooking until the thermometer reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). (Variable time)

Recipe View Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (10-15 minutes)
