Herbed Roast Lamb
- 1 (7- to 7 1/2-pound) leg of lamb
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon marjoram leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Remove the fell (tissue-like covering) from lamb with a sharp knife. Place lamb, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Make several small slits on outside of lamb; set aside.
- Combine remaining ingredients; mix well. Rub mixture over surface of lamb. Insert meat thermometer, if desired.
- Bake, uncovered, at 450u0b0 for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350u0b0. Continue baking until desired degree of doneness: about 2 hours or 140u0b0 (rare); about 2 hours and 20 minutes or 160u0b0 (medium); about 2 hours and 40 minutes or 170u0b0 (well done).
- Transfer lamb to a warm serving platter. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
