Cordero al Horno

Ingredients

Leg of lamb

1 (about 4-5 lbs)

Garlic cloves

6, minced

Fresh rosemary

2-3 sprigs

Olive oil

1/4 cup

Salt

1 teaspoon, or to taste

Black pepper

1 teaspoon, or to taste

White wine

1 cup

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the leg of lamb, ensuring to work it into every nook and cranny for maximum flavor.
4. Place the sprigs of fresh rosemary on top of the lamb, allowing their aromatic oils to infuse during cooking.
5. Transfer the seasoned lamb to a roasting pan and pour the white wine into the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist and add depth to the flavor.
6. Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
7. Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will ensure the juices redistribute, making the meat even more tender.
8. Slice the lamb and serve it on a platter, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
