Ingredients:
- 2 lbs Boneless Leg of Lamb
- Olive oil, as needed
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Lamb:
- Generously rub the boneless leg of lamb with olive oil, ensuring that all sides are coated evenly.
-
Season the Lamb:
- In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped fresh parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the herb mixture over the lamb, making sure to cover it entirely and distribute the seasoning evenly.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for roasting.
-
Roast the Lamb:
- Place the seasoned boneless leg of lamb on a rack in a roasting pan, allowing air to circulate around it for even cooking.
- Roast the lamb in the preheated oven, uncovered, for approximately 30 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 120 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit (50 to 55 degrees Celsius) at the thickest point for a medium-rare doneness.
- For a more well-done lamb, continue roasting until the desired internal temperature is achieved, keeping in mind that the meat will become firmer and less pink as it cooks longer.
-
Rest and Serve:
- Once the lamb reaches the desired doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the succulent boneless leg of lamb alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad, and enjoy the flavorful experience with family and friends.

Tips:
