- 1 (4-5 lb) boneless leg of lamb
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place lamb in a roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub mixture over entire surface of the lamb.

- Lamb is a popular protein in many cultures, from Mediterranean to Middle Eastern to Asian cuisines.
- The most common cuts of lamb are leg, shoulder, and loin.
- Roasting is a great way to cook lamb because it helps the outside of the meat to brown nicely while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
