I was looking for an easy yet different way to make Leg of Lamb for Easter dinner this year. I found this recipe at Rachael Ray's web site. The lamb turned out tender and very delicious. Served it with rosemary roasted potatoes and veggie sides. The recipes says serves 6 but we had plenty left over that I made Gyros for dinner the next night.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups Greek yogurt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of fresh mint, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
5 lbs leg of lamb, bone-in

Steps:

  • 1. In a 2-gallon resealable plastic bag, combine the yogurt, olive oil, mint, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the lamb, turning to coat evenly, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the lamb fat side up in a roasting pan and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 145° for medium rare, about 1 1/2 hours. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
