A tender and flavourful herb-crusted lamb roast, perfect for a hearty and satisfying meal. The combination of garlic, rosemary, thyme, and Dijon mustard creates a delicious crust that enhances the natural richness of the lamb.
instructions
step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
step 2
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
step 3
Rub the lamb leg roast with the herb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
step 4
Place the lamb roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare.
step 6
Baste the lamb with its own juices halfway through the cooking time.
step 7
Remove the lamb roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
step 8
Slice the lamb roast and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
