Ingredients

Serves: 6

• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (3 pound) boneless leg of lamb

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Mash together the garlic, rosemary, and butter in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
3. Use a sharp paring knife to make several incisions into the lamb leg. Stuff the holes with the garlic butter. Tie up the lamb leg with kitchen twine if you have it, then rub with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Place into a small baking dish.
