Mediterranean Leg Of Lamb Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Jo_jo_ba / All my dishes 10 months ago What's a Mediterranean dinner without a succulent leg of lamb to tie it all together?? This recipe is cooked off the bone, unlike traditional methods, but the potential loss in flavour is more than made up for with a black olive and oregano rub inside and out....

Ingredients

4lb boneless leg of lamb

2 bunches fresh oregano, picked and chopped roughly

5 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped

Zest of 1/2 lemon

1/4 cup pitted black olives, chopped

1/4 cup olive oil

salt and pepper

Directions

Combine oregano, garlic, lemon zest, olives and olive oil in a food processor to form a paste.

Season lamb generously with salt and pepper.

Rub inside and outside of lamb with paste, roll leg up and truss with butcher string

Preheat oven to 375F. Pat any excess olive oil off the lamb leg.

Roast, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 1 ½ hours, or until thermometer inserted in thickest part of leg registers 150F.

Allow the lamb to rest, covered, for at least 10 minutes before carving.

no, seriously, this sounds very good. I love those herb pastes.
