Roasted leg of lamb with fresh parsley and sea salt rub is a dish that is full of delicate but intense flavors. While roasted lamb requires that you actively pay attention during the cooking process, the meal you will be rewarded with will impress friends and family during special dinners or occasions. Served with roasted red potatoes, baked cauliflower or braised carrots, roasted leg of lamb with fresh parsley and sea salt rub makes a perfect winter meal, particularly when paired with a glass of dry white wine.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 2½ lb. leg of lamb, bone removed
  • 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Roasting bag
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a large glass baking dish inside.

  2. Step 2

    Make "t" shaped incisions into the side of the lamb that contains the most fat. Rub the inside of the lamb with the sea salt and chopped fresh parsley. Stuff the bones cavity with the shallots and roll the piece of meat back together, tying it with kitchen string.

  3. Step 3

    Put the lamb in the roasting bag and seal it. Place the bag in the hot ovenproof dish and cook for 45-50 minutes. Remove the lamb from the oven and increase the heat to 475 degrees F.

  4. Step 4

    Hold the roasting bag over a mixing bowl and cut one of the lower corners with kitchen scissors, letting the collected liquid drip into the bowl. Discard the roasting bag.

  5. Step 5

    Place the lamb in the roasting dish and cook in the oven for an additional 14-17 minutes. The meat should be tender but still pink in the center.

  6. Step 6

    Untie the lamb and slice into individual pieces. Place the lamb in the center of a large serving platter and drizzle the juices that you collected from the roasting bag over the meat. Serve immediately.
