    Preparation Steps

    1

    Trim the leg of lamb, then rub it all over with salt, pepper, and finely chopped garlic.

    2

    Place the rosemary sprigs on top of the lamb, then drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.

    3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the leg of lamb on all sides for 3-4 minutes, until nicely browned.

    4

    Transfer the leg of lamb to a preheated oven and roast at 350°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the meat is tender and juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired doneness.

    5

    During roasting, baste the lamb with its own juices to keep it moist.

    6

    Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before carving, allowing the juices to redistribute and the meat to become even more succulent.

    7

    Serve the roast leg of lamb with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables, and a glass of red wine.
