Roasted Leg of Lamb

Ingredients

  • 1 – 7 to 9 lb. Boneless Leg of Lamb
  • (butterflied)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil, as needed
  • Mediterranean Dry Rub, as needed

When determining the amount of lamb to prepare, plan on serving about ⅓ to ½ pound per person. If you want to ensure leftovers for your guests, budget for ½ pound per person.

Directions

  • Set oven to 475 degrees.
  • Pat lamb dry and place flat on a roasting rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the lamb, then sprinkle with Mediterranean Dry Rub until evenly coated.
  • Place in oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer reads 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

For side dishes, consider serving this succulent lamb with roasted root vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh Mediterranean salad drizzled with a lemon vinaigrette. Pair it with a bottle of Priest Ranch Double Barrel for an exquisite complement to the dish. Its rich, layered flavors will enhance the umami notes of the lamb and elevate your dining experience.

Whether for a festive holiday meal or a special family gathering, this Roast Leg of Lamb is sure to impress. The combination of the Mediterranean Dry Rub and the exceptional wines from Priest Ranch creates a memorable meal that will delight your guests and leave lasting impressions. Embrace the flavors of the season and make your next gathering truly special!
