Lamb - Leg of Lamb (Bone-In) New Zealand Halal 5lb

A leg of lamb is a large and flavorful cut of meat that is perfect for special occasions or holiday meals. It is typically sold bone-in, which adds additional flavor and moisture to the meat during cooking.

To prepare a leg of lamb, it is important to start by trimming away any excess fat and silver skin from the meat. This will help the lamb to cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming tough or chewy.

One of the best ways to prepare a leg of lamb is to roast it in the oven. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Rub the lamb all over with a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and your desired herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Place the lamb in a roasting pan with a rack, and add a cup of liquid, such as water or wine, to the bottom of the pan.

Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Baste the lamb with the pan juices every 20-30 minutes during cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.

Once the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Leg of lamb can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, vegetables, or a salad. It also pairs well with a mint sauce or other flavorful sauces to enhance its flavor.
