Ingredients

• 1.5 kilograms Boneless leg of lamb
• 3 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
• 5 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a small bowl, finely chop the rosemary and thyme. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.

Step 3

Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to the herb and garlic mixture. Mix thoroughly to form a paste.

Step 4

Place the boneless leg of lamb in a roasting dish. Rub the herb and garlic paste evenly over the surface of the lamb, ensuring it is well coated.

Step 5

Pour the low-sodium chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting dish. This will help keep the lamb moist and infuse it with flavor as it cooks.

Step 6

Place the lamb in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 70-80 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium rare. For medium, cook until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).

Step 7

Remove the lamb from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Slice the lamb thinly and serve with your preferred sides. The leftover pan juices can be drizzled over the lamb for extra flavor.
