Ingredients:
- 3-4 lbs boneless leg of lamb
- 2 cups parsley, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup garlic, minced
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp margarine
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp whole peppercorn
Instructions:
-
Prepare Lamb:
- Tie the boneless leg of lamb together to maintain its shape during cooking.
- In a large skillet, sautรฉ the lamb on all sides until golden brown. This step helps seal in the juices and adds flavor to the meat.
-
Prepare Persille Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and butter. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. This flavorful mixture will be used to coat the lamb.
-
Coat Lamb:
- Once the lamb has cooled slightly, evenly coat it with Dijon mustard. This adds a tangy flavor and helps the persille mixture adhere to the meat.
-
Add Peppercorn:
- Dot the surface of the lamb with whole peppercorns. These will infuse the meat with a subtle spiciness as it roasts.
-
Apply Persille Mixture:
- Pat the prepared persille mixture generously over the surface of the lamb. Ensure an even coating, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the meat.
-
Roast Lamb:
- Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
- Place the lamb on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.
- Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 145ยฐF (63ยฐC).
-
Rest and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and juicy texture.
- Untie the lamb and carve it into 8 slices.
- Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite sides or sauces.
