Leg of lamb should be dry roasted in an oven without a cover on, just lie
a roast beef as opposed to a pot roast which is covered and has liquid and
coolk long and slowly in order to get soft. Basicall the lamb is a lready
soft so you don't hav eto break it all down. season with S&P and herbs
you like and slice an onion and ut it all around and roast in a fairly hot
oven. As I don't et leg oflamb for complicated relgious reasons, I
suggest you get seasoning and herb ideas from others on the list.
