What is a good recipe for leg of lamb?

There are many ways which you can use to cook the leg of a lamb such as grilling, oven roasting, boneless leg lamb roast etc. Here's one of the ways: 1. Oven Roasting Method : Start by preheating the oven to around 475 degrees F. Apply the desired seasonings on the lamb. Next, put the lamb in a nice pan and start cooking. Cook the first 15 minutes at 475 degrees F. After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Continue to cook and let it cook for 20 minutes per pound. You can use a meat thermometer for more exact reading. If you want the lamb to be medium rare, you can stop cooking when it states 145 degrees F.
