-
6 pound lamb, leg, whole, raw, choice, 1/4" trim
-
4 garlic cloves minced
-
2/3 cup vinegar, balsamic
-
1/2 cup oil, olive, extra virgin
-
2 tbsp mustard, dijon
-
1 tbsp sugar
-
2 tbsp herb, basil, fresh, leaves, chpd
-
1 tsp salt, table
-

Recipe Method
1. Trim fat from
lamb. With the tip of a
knife, cut 1-inch-wide pockets into
lamb at 3-inch intervals; insert a slice of
garlic into each pocket.
Set aside.
2. For marinade, in a small bowl combine balsamic vinegar, oil, mustard, sugar, basil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Place leg of lamb in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over lamb. Seal bag; turn to coat lamb. Marinate in the fridge for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain and discard marinade.
3. Place lamb on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert an oven-doing meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the leg. Roast in a 325 F. oven until desired doneness is reached. Allow 2 to 2 1/2 hours for medium-rare (140 F.) or 2 1/2 to 3 hours for medium (155 F.). cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving. The temperature of the meat after standing should be 145 F. for medium-rare doneness or 160 F. for medium. Remove strings. Thinly slice lamb to serve.
