For this easy Roast Leg of Lamb dinner, ask your local butcher for 1 leg of lamb, about 6 lbs. The most important thing to remember about cooking a lamb roast is to not overcook. Lamb is so naturally tender and has such a wonderful flavor on its own, that it is bound to turn out well, as long as there is a little pink in the middle.
 INGREDIENTS:
1 leg of lamb, about 6 lbs
½ cup Rick’s Rub Moroccan seasoning
4 cloves of garlic, sliced
 
METHOD:

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Toss garlic slices in Rick’s Rub Moroccan seasoning
3. Stud lamb leg with tip of a knife to create small pockets in the meat. Insert seasoned slices of garlic into pockets
4. Rub the remaining Rick’s Rub Moroccan seasoning over leg of lamb to evenly coat and allow to stand for 10 mins
5. Place leg of lamb into roasting pan and put into preheated oven. Cook for 1 ½ hours, basting occasionally, or until internal temperature reaches 145F
6. Remove from oven and tent with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 mins
7. Carve roast and place meat in warmed serving dish. Pour pan juices over meat

 
Serve with roasted new potatoes and steamed broccoli
Serves 6 to 8
