Roast Bone In Leg of Lamb Recipe + Delicious Easy Garlic & Herb Marinade
Learn how to make this delicious garlic and herb marinated and roasted bone-in leg of lamb recipe that is perfect to serve up to family and friends.
A leg of lamb is a large cut of meat that literally comes from the leg of a lamb. Leg of lamb is an extremely tender piece of meat and can be cooked in myriad ways from over an open fire to being roasted in the oven. It is most often offered as a bone-in or boneless cut of meat varying in weights from 3-9 pounds coming in at around $11.00 per pound. Of course, if you decide to purchase the bone-in cut, then about 2 pounds of it will surely be bone weight.
This is a fantastic roast that is perfect to serve up to a large group of family or guests especially for holiday occasions such as Easter, Passover, or Christmas. You will often see a leg of lamb in abundance in the weeks leading up to Easter. For an Italian Easter, you would roast the lamb and serve it with browned potatoes which are known as abbacchio al forno.

How to Roast a Leg of Lamb
Ingredients:
4 lb. bone-in leg of lamb
1 tbsp salt, or to taste
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
1 whole garlic, unpeeled and halved
1 onion, quartered
2 – 3 sprigs of rosemary
3 cups beef stock
2 ½ cups water
For the gravy:
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
Making Roast leg of lamb:
Preheat oven to 335°F
Place rosemary sprigs, garlic, onion in a roast pan or stock pot, in a way that they are evenly distributed in the pan. Place the leg of lamb in the centre. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the lamb leg. Pour the stock and water over the lamb (it’s ok if the lamb leg isn’t immersed in stock). Drizzle olive oil over the lamb, cover with a foil and roast for 4 ½ hours at 335°F. Check if the lamb is cooked, if not cover again with foil and roast for 10 – 15 mins more.
If the lamb is tender, then roast for another 45 minutes, uncovered till its nicely browned.
Make the gravy:
Remove the leg of lamb and place the pan with the juices on the stove. Using a spoon, remove fat from the surface of the liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Add all-purpose flour and mix well. Simmer for a few minutes, till the gravy becomes thick and sludgy
Sieve the gravy, pressing the onions and chunks to get all the juices into the bowl. Carve out thin strips of meat on a plate, pour the gravy on top, garnish with a few sprigs of rosemary and serve!
