Super Simple Leg of Lamb

Leg of lamb is perfect for a crowd. This recipe slathers the lamb with mustard, which becomes crunchy when baked, and is studded with garlic.

1 7-to-8 pound bone-in leg of lamb

3 cloves garlic, cut into slivers

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup Dijon mustard

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper.
Make slits in various parts of the lamb and insert the slivered garlic.
Coat the leg with mustard.
Roast about 1 hour 20 minutes, for medium-rare (125 degrees F. to 130 degrees F.)
Let rest 20 minutes before carving.
