Name: Amount:
boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and tied 3
salt 1 tsp
pepper, ground black 2 tsp
orange peel, grated 1 ea
garlic clove, minced 1 Tbsp
sprigs fresh rosemary 2 ea
olive oil 1 Tbsp
1:

Season the lamb with the salt, black pepper, grated orange rind, and minced garlic. Place the two rosemary sprigs beneath the butcher's twine so that they rest against the meat. Rub the olive oil over the lamb.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a large pan over medium heat, and place the lamb into it. Cook the lamb on all sides until it is a golden brown. Place the lamb into a roasting pan or dish and put it into the oven. Cook for 1-1/2-2 hours, or to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. When the lamb is done, allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes out of the oven before serving.
