This leg of lamb roast is perfect for company, but quite easy to prepare for an any day family meal. It calls for a leg of lamb but any roast lamb cut will do. Lamb is often paired with rosemary. Instead of the usual lamb with rosemary, this recipe pairs the roast with a lovely red wine marinade. Again, very easy to do and just a little bit different. Many people are a bit afraid of lamb because it may taste strong, but a good young lamb roast or lamb chops are not strong tasting at all.
Roasted Leg of Lamb with Red Wine Marinade1 cup dry red wine Combine wine, oil, onion, garlic, Tabasco and salt to taste. Place lamb in a glass or enameled-ware pan just large enough to hold it. Pour wine mixture over the top. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator 6 hours or overnight. Turn meat occasionally to make sure it marinates well on all sides. Heat oven to 325°F. Remove lamb and pat dry with paper toweling. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into heavy part of leg, being careful not to touch the bone. Roast meat about 25 minutes per pound or to the desired degree of doneness. Baste lamb occasionally with the wine marinade. Lamb should ideally be pink in the center when it is eaten. Makes 6 - 8 servings.
