EASY LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Cut 20 deep slits evenly spaced around the leg of lamb without cutting the netting. Stuff a garlic clove into each slit. Rub garlic powder over the lamb. Slice rosemary sprigs under netting evenly around the lamb. Place lamb into a roasting pan.
• Roast in preheated oven until reddish-pink and juicy in the center for medium-rare, about 2-2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Cover in aluminum foil; rest meat until thermometer reads 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) before carving.

SANYA TIMMONS'S LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• It is recommended that you have the butcher remove and set aside the hipbone of the lamb. This is the upper bone that is attached to the main (straight) leg bone. This can also be done in the home kitchen, using a thin, sharp boning knife, neatly cutting all around the meat attached to the hipbone and severing the hipbone from the main bone.
• Carefully cut away and discard all the fat on the top, bottom and sides of the leg of lamb. Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper and rub it all over with the oil. Put the lamb in a heavy roasting pan or large casserole and cook over moderately high heat, turning as necessary to brown on all sides, about 15 minutes or longer.
• Remove the lamb and pour off any fat that might have accumulated. Put the onions, carrots and leeks in the pan and cook, stirring, without browning, about five minutes.
• Place the lamb, the thickest side up, on top of the vegetables and add the broth, bay leaf, parsley, thyme and garlic. Put the reserved hipbone on the side. Bring to the boil. Cover loosely and put in the oven. Bake three hours.
• Reduce the oven heat to 275 degrees. Continue baking two hours. Remove the lamb and strain the pan liquid into a bowl. Discard the vegetables and the hipbone. Skim off all the surface fat. Pour the remaining pan liquid into a saucepan and reheat. In theory the meat on the lamb should be so tender it can be scooped off the bone using a spoon. You may prefer, however, to pull it off with a fork or carve it. Serve with the hot pan liquid.
