Ingredients

• 4 pounds Leg of lamb
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 piece Lemon, juiced
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the leg of lamb dry with paper towels and place it on a large roasting pan.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar to create a marinade.

Step 4

Rub the marinade mixture evenly over the entire surface of the lamb. Make sure to coat all sides generously.

Step 5

Let the lamb rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 6

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the lamb, avoiding any bones.

Step 7

Place the lamb in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until the thermometer reads 130°F (54°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

To serve, carve the lamb against the grain into thin slices and arrange on a platter garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy your low sodium herb and garlic roasted lamb paired with your favorite low-sodium side dishes.
