Roast Leg Of Lamb Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

3 tbsp coarse-grained mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced, see * Note
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 leg of lamb - (abt 4 lbs), well trimmed,
boned, rolled and tied
Mint jelly, (optional)

Recipe Instructions:

* Note: For more intense garlic flavor inside the meat, cut garlic into slivers. Cut small pockets at random intervals throughout roast with tip of sharp knife; insert garlic slivers.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine mustard, garlic, rosemary and pepper. Rub mustard mixture over lamb. (At this point lamb may be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before roasting.)

Place roast on meat rack in shallow, foil-lined roasting pan. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees; roast about 20 minutes per pound for medium or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees when tested with meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of roast.

Transfer roast to cutting board; cover with foil. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Internal temperature will continue to rise 5 to 10 degrees during stand time.

Cut strings; discard. Carve roast into thin slices; serve with mint jelly, if desired.

This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
