With the tip of a small knife poke holes in the leg every couple of inches and insert a whole clove of garlic in each slit. Place the leg on a rack in a covered roasting pan (Foil works as well) with a little water in the pan. Put an onion or two in the pan and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Place the roasting pan in the oven set at 350F(190C) for 15-20 minutes per pound (you don't want to cook lamb well done, but more medium to medium rare) a 6 pound leg should take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the cover(or foil) for the last 15 minutes of roasting time. Remove the leg when done, and remove the cloves of garlic from the meat. You can bring it to the table whole or debone and slice it across the grain and serve it on a hot platter. Garnish with sprigs of parsley. Mint jelly is a nice accompaniment for the lamb.
