My fiance is going to our LARP event this weekend, and they are having a feast where each person brings something to eat. I had an extra leg of lamb in the freezer that I needed to cook, so I did!
I sliced just through the fat layer and slivered some garlic to lay in the cuts. Then I put it into one of the roasting bags (I can't remember who makes them), poured a little lemon juice over it, sprinkled dry rosemary and ground black pepper over it, added just a hint of salt and roasted it at 400 degrees F for two hours. Checked the internal temp with a meat thermometer and it came out perfect! When I'm cooking lamb I try to aim for 170 degrees F as an internal temp. This was a bone in leg of lamb.
Here's a photo of it, I couldn't resist showing it off! And yes, shortly after this photo was taken, I took one of the ends off and proceded to enjoy my hard work!
Enjoy!

PS - I only paid about $8 for this 6 lb hunk of wonderful meat!
