An herb rub makes this leg of lamb so good! I always knew it was Easter when my mom made it, and the whole house smells awesome when it's cooking. It's the only recipe I specifically asked for when I moved out on my own.

Ingredients

1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried sage
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bay leaf
2 pounds leg of lamb

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Mix garlic, salt, pepper, ginger, thyme, sage, add marjoram in a bowl. Stir soy sauce and vegetable oil into the garlic mixture until loosely paste-like; add the bay leaf.
Cut slits into the lamb on all sides. Rub herb mixture over entire surface of lamb, massaging it into the slits. Put lamb in a roasting pan.
Roast lamb until browned on the outside and red in the center, about 50 minutes for rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Cover lamb loosely with aluminum foil and cool about 20 minutes before carving.

Cook's Note

Make sure you multiply the rub recipe by half the number of pounds of lamb you have; you'll want enough to put a good coat over the whole leg.
