Lamb!

Birthday dinner for Hubby!

I did a combination of a couple of recipes and I think it turned out great!

2 Heads Garlic
3 Tbps Olive Oil
1 Leg of lamb, Boneless
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp Rosemary, chopped (I used dry)

Preheat the oven to 350'. Cut off the tops of the garlic heads and brush the cut section with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set garlic cut side down in a pan and roast until it is soft to the touch, about 30 minutes*. Let the garlic cool for 5 minutes, then squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins and into a bowl. Mash with a fork and spread over the top of the lamb.

*Meanwhile, (if the roast has netting on it, cut it off. After you are done seasoning the roast and putting the garlic on it, tie it with kitchen string) place the roast in a roasting pan and season with salt, pepper, and the rosemary. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (The time it takes for the garlic to cook.) Preheat oven to 450'. After spreading the garlic on the roast let sit on the counter until the oven is heated. Bake the roast 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350' and bake until the meat thermometer reaches 125-130 (125 was to rare). Tent the roast with foil and let it rest 20 minutes before slicing. This lets the juices reincorporate into the roast.
