    Mint-Rubbed Leg of Lamb - 12 -- w

    Source of Recipe

    Adapted from BH&G's 3 Steps to Weight Loss
    Mint-Rubbed Leg of Lamb - 12
    Servings: 12

    5-pound whole leg of lamb
    8 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise
    2 tablespoons dried mint, crushed
    1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    3 tablespoons honey

    Trim fat from meat. Cut 16 small slits (about 1/2 inch wide and 1 inch deep) in meat; insert a piece of garlic in each slit. For rub, in a small bowl combine the mint, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle evenly over meat; rub in with your fingers. Drizzle honey over meat; rub to coat. Place meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover meat loosely with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

    Remove plastic wrap. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of meat without touching bone. Roast, uncovered, in a 325 degree oven until the meat thermometer registers 140 degrees for medium-rare (2 to 2 1/2 hours) or 155 degrees for medium doneness (2 1/2 to 3 hours). Remove meat from oven.

    Cover meat with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before carving. (The internal temperature will rise about 5 degrees during standing.)
