Ingredients
- 5 pounds leg of lamb
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 8 whole garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Take the leg of lamb out of the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, and juice of the lemon.
Step 4
Peel and halve the garlic cloves.
Step 5
Carefully make small incisions all over the lamb with a sharp knife and insert the halved garlic cloves into the slits.
Step 6
Rub the olive oil mixture all over the lamb to coat it evenly.
Step 7
Tuck the rosemary and thyme sprigs under the lamb, distributing them evenly.
Step 8
Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan.
Step 9
Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or your desired level of doneness.
Step 10
About halfway through the roasting, baste the lamb with melted butter to enhance flavor and maintain moisture.
Step 11
Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
Step 12
Slice the gigot d'agneau and serve with your choice of keto-friendly sides.
