Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in lower third. Rub lamb with a generous amount of salt and pepper, then rub with oil. With the tip of a sharp paring knife, cut twenty 1/2-inch-deep slits all over lamb; insert garlic slivers into openings.
- Place lamb on a roasting rack set on a rimmed baking sheet; place in oven. Immediately reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Roast lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 125 degrees to 135 degrees for rare, or 135 degrees to 140 degrees for medium, 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 hours. Remove from oven; let rest 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, make the mint sauce: In a small saucepan, bring vinegar, sugar, and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until liquid is syrupy and reduced to 1 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in mint, and let cool completely.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mash together the roasted garlic cloves, rosemary, lemon and oil; set aside. With a sharp knife, trim away the white skin that covers the lamb (also called fell) as well as the excess fat. Pull up the layer of fat and fell, cutting as you go to expose the meat underneath. Next, remove the tailbone and hipbone at the large end of the lamb.
- Cut off the tailbone that protrudes out of the leg. Then, cut under and around the hipbone, scraping the meat away to expose the leg joint. Cut through the tendons around the joint and separate the hipbone. Cut down the length of the leg and remove the thighbone. The leg of lamb is now boneless. Divide the meat into 3 large pieces, this will facilitate quicker cooking. Score the surface of the lamb and rub it with the garlic paste. Roll up each boneless piece of lamb and tie with heavy kitchen string or butcher's twine to hold the roasts together. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill overnight.
- Prepare a barbecue. Season the lamb roast generously with salt and pepper, then place on the hot grill. Sear the outside of the meat until brown all around, but do not char. Close the grill cover and roast for 30 minutes. The lamb is done when it is still pink and the internal temperature reads 135 degrees F. Allow the roast to stand 10 minutes to let the juices settle before cutting off the twine and slicing.
MOROCCAN LEG OF LAMB WITH MINT DRESSING
When a large crowd is coming over, it's easy for panic to set in, as the Lee brothers discussed in the 2006 article accompanying this recipe. Their solution? Cooking a big cut of meat. For their first attempt, they looked to lamb, specifically this Moroccan lamb, coated with harissa, lemon zest and juice (which they used as a substitute for preserved lemons), and cured before roasting. The end result, served with a mint dressing, and perhaps a side of couscous or even mashed potatoes, is a satisfying show-stopper.

Steps:
- Score meaty side of lamb in a diamond pattern of 1/4-inch-deep cuts about 1 1/2 inches apart. Season with salt and pepper, and place scored-side up in a large roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk olive oil with lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, harissa, coriander seeds and cumin. Pour marinade over lamb and massage into crevices. Cover pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate 2 1/2 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator 1 1/2 hours before cooking to return lamb to room temperature; in last 15 minutes, heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Remove foil from pan and place pan on middle oven rack; turn heat down to 350 degrees. Roast, basting lamb with pan juices every 1/2 hour, until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat reads 130 degrees, about 1 3/4 hours total. Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest 15 minutes before carving. Serve with harissa and mint dressing.

ROAST RACK OF LAMB WITH MINT SAUCE
The lamb that we buy today hardly requires a typical English mint sauce (the puckery flavor was originally designed to cut through the stronger taste of mutton), but the combination is by now a traditional and still-welcome one. Buttered carrots and a watercress salad would complement the lamb nicely. Uncork a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or red Bordeaux.

CHEF JOHN'S ROASTED LEG OF LAMB
I've done more than a few lamb dishes dedicated to Easter, but inexplicably have never posted one for a whole leg of lamb. It's such a classic Easter menu option, and, when prepared using this method, makes for a very user-friendly hunk of meat.

Steps:
- Stir 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses, garlic, rosemary, kosher salt, black pepper, Aleppo pepper, mint, and cumin together in a bowl.
- Arrange the butterflied leg of lamb onto a work surface with the fatty side facing down. Cut 2 deep slashes in each of the the fleshy ends of the meat. Flip the lamb and cut 10 to 20 shallow slashes across the surface of the fat.
- Spread 3/4 the pomegranate molasses mixture onto the meat-side of the lamb to coat completely. Fold meat together and turn into a large bowl. Spread remaining pomegranate mixture over the fatty side of the meat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a roasting rack in the bottom of a roasting pan.
- Remove lamb from marinade and discard excess marinade. Gather roast and place onto a work surface with fatty side facing upwards. Tie the center section of the roast with kitchen twine to cinch the roast together. Repeat ties four times along the length of the roast.
- Season roast with salt and transfer to prepared roasting pan. Pour water below the rack to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven until hot and slightly pink in the center, about 1 3/4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 135 degrees F (57 degrees C). Rest for 15 minutes, transfer to a plate, and brush with remaining pomegranate molasses.

- Heat your oven to 400 degrees. While the oven is heating up, chop the onions. I roughly chopped them into smallish chunks, you can chop them however you like. Then slice the baby potatoes in half. Place the onions and potatoes in a roasting pan and drizzle 1 tablespoons of olive oil over, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir to evenly coat the potatoes and onions and arrange in the roasting pan leaving a space in the middle for the lamb.
- Next combine the garlic, shallot, lemon zest, and remaining salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl. Then use your hands to spread this mixture all over the lamb, and place the lamb in the middle of the roasting pan.
- Place the lamb and potatoes in the oven and let cook for 30 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and cook for another 45 minutes to 60 minutes. I cooked a 1 pound cut of lamb and it reached 145 degrees (medium doneness) after cooking for 50 minutes at 350 degrees.
- While the lamb is roasting, prepare the mint sauce by simply mixing the chopping mint leaves, granulated sugar, salt, hot water, and red wine vinegar together.
