Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Rub the leg of lamb all over with salt and pepper. Use a small knife to make punctures in the lamb about 1 inch apart. Press slivers of garlic into each hole so that they are about 1/2 inch below the surface. Place the meat in a roasting pan. You can either remove the rosemary from the stalk and sprinkle and rub into the meat on all sides, or you can simply use the string from the lamb to secure against it. Pour the can of tomato sauce over the whole thing.
- Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, then lower the temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C), and continue roasting until the internal temperature of the meat is at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 15 minutes. If you want the meat well done, wait until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).

FLAVORFUL ROAST LEG OF LAMB
A fellow JAP chef asked me if I had a recipe for a roast leg of lamb, so I went through my archives, and came up with this one. One thing that I have found in my cooking journey is that people either love or hate lamb. I don't find too many people in the middle. I think that this recipe is sure to change a few minds towards the positive. This recipe is for a 4-pound leg of lamb, which is what I had at the time.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade, add the honey, mustard, freshly ground black pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, and balsamic vinegar.
- Blend until smooth.
- Brush the marinade onto the lamb, cover with cling wrap, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 24, or up to 48 hours.
- Place rack in the bottom position, and preheat oven to 425f (220c)
- Remove lamb from refrigerator, unwrap, and place in a roasting pan with a V rack. Add one cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Sprinkle with the sea salt, or to taste.
- Tent the top of the lamb with aluminum foil.
- Place in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 350f (176c), and remove the aluminum foil, and continue to roast until the internal temperature (taken with a meat thermometer) reaches 145f (63c) or medium rare. I wouldn't recommend going much higher. Depending on your oven, and the lamb, this process should take about 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Chef's Note: As with all roasted meats, allow to rest, tented, for about 10 minutes before carving.
- Chef's Tip: To keep the lamb juicy, every 20 minutes, use the water and accumulated pans juices to baste the lamb.
- Chef's Note: This recipe is only for the leg of lamb. I might recommend add some carrots, and potatoes to the roasting pan.
- Chef's Tip: To kick up the flavor, use a pairing knife to cut slits in the lamb, and insert cloves of garlic.
- Chef's Tip: You want to go crazy... let's go crazy. Take strips of uncooked bacon, and drape them over the lamb before putting in the oven. The bacon will impart great flavor, and keep the lamb nice and moist at the same time.
- Chef's Tip: Take the pan drippings, add a bit of red wine and red currant jelly, and reduce over a medium heat. Pour over the lamb before serving.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Cooking peeled potatoes in the pan around the roast is yummy. The only other things you need are gravy made from the pan drippings and a fresh vegetable.

5 TIPS FOR A FLAVORFUL & TENDER LEG OF LAMB ROAST
From grassrootscoop.com
- Boneless or Bone-In? A bone-in lamb leg can be a little trickier to carve but adds a richness in flavor. The meat of the bone-lamb is fattier, more tender, and the cut is more evenly shaped, making it easier to cook evenly.
- Leg of Lamb Roast Seasoning Guide. Lamb has such a robust flavor, making it an ideal carrier for seasonings. Cuts from the shank, shoulder, and leg have more fat, creating a more grassy, well-balanced flavor.
- The Perfect Roast. Rare, Medium, or Well? It’s all about personal preferences when cooking a leg of lamb roast. When cooking for a small group of family or friends, leaning on the medium-rare to medium side is a safe bet.
- Defrosting Your Leg of Lamb. Be extremely careful when handling raw foods, that it does not come in contact with other foods. There are two methods for thawing your leg of lamb roast.
- Cooking Your Leg of Lamb From Frozen. First, preheat your oven to 300 to 375 F. Place the leg of lamb roast on a roasting pan and set on the middle or roasting rack.
