Mustard Glazed Leg of Lamb-roasting 101

The American Lamb website is a great place to find great tips and techniques for cooking lamb.

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 430°F.

Place the lamb in a large roasting pan. Mix the mustard, soy sauce, garlic, rosemary, and ginger together and then gradually stir in the olive oil to make a paste. Spread paste over the lamb leg.

Put in the oven and roast to sear for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue to roast for another 50 minutes. The lamb will be cooked medium (150°F with an internal meat thermometer) at this stage. Remove from the oven, wrap the lamb loosely in foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving.

NOTE: You can add vegetables of your choice to the pan after reducing heat to 350°F. We used onions, carrots, red bell peppers.
