Awesome Herb Roast Leg of Lamb

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 pounds leg of lamb

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Mix garlic, salt, pepper, ginger, thyme, sage, add marjoram in a bowl. Stir soy sauce and vegetable oil into the garlic mixture until loosely paste-like; add the bay leaf.

Cut slits into the lamb on all sides. Rub herb mixture over entire surface of lamb, massaging it into the slits. Put lamb in a roasting pan.

Roast lamb until browned on the outside and red in the center, about 50 minutes for rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Cover lamb loosely with aluminum foil and cool about 20 minutes before carving.
