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.
Ingredients for this recipe:
For the Lamb
• 7-9-pound bone-in leg of lamb

Perfect every time Roasted Leg of Lamb with Potatoes #shorts
Roasted Leg of Lamb is probably one of the most classic Greek recipes you’ll ever find. We eat a lot of lamb in Greece because the animals thrive in that climate. While a lot of people typically only eat lamb for holidays like Easter or Christmas, we eat it year-round and this is a recipe I often make when people are coming over for a celebration.
