Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°. Season the meat with salt and pepper. In a small bowl mix the herbs with the olive oil and bread crumbs. Rub both sides of the lamb with the herb mixture. Using the kitchen string, tie up the lamb leg at 2-inch intervals. Place in roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 375°. Add the wine and water or broth to the roasting pan and cook for another 30 – 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 140° for medium. Take the lamb out of the oven, cover loosely with foil. Let the meat rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve. Serves 6 – 8.
