Ingredients
- 1 whole leg of lamb about 2–2.5 kg
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the lamb
- Pat the lamb dry with paper towels. Make small cuts all over to help the marinade absorb better.
Make the marinade
- Mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Marinate the lamb
- Rub the marinade all over the lamb. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours for better flavor.
Preheat the oven
- Set your oven to 180°C or 350°F. Place the lamb in a roasting pan before cooking.
Start roasting
- Put the lamb in the oven. Roast uncovered for about 60 minutes, allowing the outside to brown nicely.
Check temperature
- Use a meat thermometer. Cook until internal temperature reaches desired doneness for your preference.
Continue roasting
- If needed, roast for another 20–30 minutes. This ensures the meat becomes tender and fully cooked.
Rest the lamb
- Remove from oven and cover with foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing to keep juices inside.
Slice and serve
- Cut the lamb into slices. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for stronger flavor.
- Marinate overnight for deeper taste.
- Add potatoes and carrots to the roasting pan.
- Use butter for extra richness.
- Try adding cumin for a warm spice twist.
