Ingredients

For the Lamb

5 pounds Boneless leg of lamb Shoulder can be a simpler cut if preferred.

For the Aromatics

5 cloves Garlic, minced Shallots can be a milder alternative.
10 cloves Garlic, sliced
1/4 cup Parsley, minced Feel free to swap with fresh cilantro for a unique twist.
5 tablespoons Rosemary, chopped Thyme or oregano work as delightful substitutes.

For Seasoning

5 teaspoons Kosher salt Adjust according to your sodium preferences.
1.5 teaspoons Black pepper A pinch of subtle heat to balance the dish.

For Cooking

2 tablespoons Olive oil Avocado oil is an excellent high-heat alternative.
1.5 cups Water Keeps the lamb juicy during roasting.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and position the rack in the center.
Prepare the lamb by trimming any excess fat and patting it dry. Lay the lamb on a cutting board with the interior side facing up. Drizzle half of the olive oil, then season the interior with half of the salt, pepper, and rosemary. Add the minced parsley and garlic.
Roll the lamb tightly into a cylinder shape and secure it with kitchen twine every 1-2 inches.
Slice small slits into the exterior of the lamb and stuff them with the sliced garlic. Brush the remaining olive oil over the surface, seasoning it with the rest of the salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Place the lamb on a wire rack inside a roasting pan and pour the water beneath the rack.
Roast the lamb for 15 minutes at the high temperature, then reduce it to 350°F (175°C) and continue cooking until a meat thermometer registers 130°F (54°C), roughly 15-20 minutes per pound.
Rest the lamb for 10-15 minutes covered lightly with foil before slicing.

Notes

Consider serving with a mint sauce for a refreshing contrast. Resting time is crucial for keeping all those tasty juices locked in. For a deeper taste, marinate the lamb overnight with garlic and rosemary.
