Cooking a melts-in-your-mouth lamb recipe doesn’t need to be complicated. This leg of lamb is rubbed with a lemony, garlic-herb-mustard paste before being roasted over a pan of white wine and potatoes. The potatoes soak up all the juices while the lamb gets charred on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. Garnish with fresh rosemary and thyme before serving it as the centerpiece of a dinner you’ll get endless compliments on.

Pantry Ingredients are pantry staples like salt and pepper – items we think you might already have at home. These items will be listed in your Tasty Grocery Bag in the app if they’re needed for a recipe, but are automatically not added to your order.

Preparation
2-3 hours before roasting, prepare the lamb. Use a small, sharp knife to make 15 to 20 incisions, each about 2 inches (5 cm) deep, through the fat cap on top of the meat. Thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic and use your fingers to press the slices into the incisions.
In a blender, combine the remaining 9 garlic cloves, the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Blend until a paste forms.
Spread the paste evenly all over the lamb. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the lamb on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and pour the wine into the bottom of the pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C).

Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the roasting pan and place the lamb on the rack on top. Roast for 2 hours, tossing the potatoes and basting the lamb with the roasting liquid halfway through.
Transfer the potatoes to a platter, baste the lamb again with the remaining pan juices, and return the lamb to the oven. Continue to roast, basting often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the leg reaches 130°F (for medium-rare), 45 minutes to 2 hours more, depending on thickness. (As a general rule, the lamb should roast 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare).
Transfer the lamb to a platter and set aside to rest for 20 minutes. While the lamb rests, return the potatoes to the roasting pan, season with flaky salt, and warm in the oven until just heated through, about 20 minutes. Return the potatoes to the serving platter.
Carve the lamb into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices and arrange on the platter with the potatoes, garnished with rosemary and thyme sprigs. Serve with whole grain mustard alongside.
This was my first leg of lamb. I followed the recipe to a tee. I did lit it cook 15 minutes longer because it was a huge sucker, and I was nervous about making anyone sick. It disappeared between 6 people quick. Amazing. One hint. It was frozen and it took ALL of 48 hours to thaw in the fridge.

I followed the recipe minus the potatoes. Lamb was nice and oh so moist. Definitely trying this again.

I add about 30% more garlic, thyme and rosemary to boost the flavor profile. Delicious either way but we LOVE the taste so much we bump those rookie numbers UP

Added a little Lemon Pepper to my lamb (my preference). The asparagus was made with bacon and garlic. Great recipe #Kidsapproved

This was sooooo good! I cooked the lamb for an hour and it was super tender and juicy. I added 11 garlic cloves to the herb mixture instead of 9 because my boyfriend really likes garlic. The potatoes were super crispy and had so much flavour from the wine and meat drippings. This recipe takes some time but totally worth it!

Make sure you check the temperature of your lamb along the way. I didn’t check until towards the end of the recipe, and I had over cooked the lamb. Still delicious! Tasted even better the next day when we sliced it, added more marinade, and fried it. Yum!

Made it with boneless lamb leg, 2.38kg only needs around 1 1/2hr cooking and it is already medium well. (15min on 425F, and rest on 325F)

So yummmm! I followed the recipe and it was perfect. The only thing I did (maybe) wrong is that I covered it and it wasn’t browning so I may have over cooked it. It was soft and tender but well done which I love anyway cause I can’t eat bloody meat. I took the top off and it browned perfectly!
