17 Roast Leg of Lamb Recipes Worth Celebrating

“Best lamb I’ve ever eaten,” raves reviewer GRANNYGREEN. “Followed the recipe exactly except I rubbed a little olive oil on it before I salted and peppered it. Will always use this recipe for 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,” says Chef John. “It’s such a classic Easter menu option, and, when prepared using this method, makes for a very user-friendly hunk of meat.”

This irresistible leg of lamb is roasted with new potatoes, baby carrots, and 30 cloves of garlic. Generously basting with beer keeps it nice and moist during the cooking process.

“Fall-of-the-bone, flavorful lamb that is easy to throw in the slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious meal ready by dinner time,” says recipe creator Kristin88.

"It's a very easy way to dress up a lamb roast during the holidays," according to recipe creator Barbara E. "The simple herb rub adds just the right amount of seasoning along with fresh garlic inserted into the top of the roast."

An easy sauce made with frozen raspberries, vegetable broth, raspberry jam, and red wine vinegar is the perfect complement to simple leg of lamb roasted with rosemary.

This easy lamb is marinated overnight with fresh rosemary, garlic, Dijon-style, black pepper, honey, and lemon zest. “Be prepared for many requests for seconds,” according to recipe creator JMASS.

This perfectly juicy four-ingredient leg of lamb couldn't be easier to throw together with just 10 sprigs of fresh rosemary, garlic powder, and 20 cloves of garlic.

What makes this flavorful leg of lamb so, well, awesome? It's roasted with delicious herbs like ginger, thyme, sage, and marjoram and flavored with soy sauce.

“I purchased a leg of lamb roast from the store recently, but had no idea on how I’d cook it,” says recipe creator Robertjm. “After reading ideas here on Allrecipes, I came up with my own marinade.”

“The marinade creates the most intense and flavorful lamb you will ever eat,” according to recipe creator Luxy. “This lamb is moist and has a ‘softer’ flavor compared to your typical rosemary-and-garlic lamb.”

This holiday-perfect leg of lamb is extra juicy and delicious, as it's marinated overnight in yogurt, fresh rosemary, fresh parsley, garlic, and lemons. Make sure to start this recipe at least a day before cooking.

“Wonderful change of pace from the normal rosemary seasoned lamb dishes,” says reviewer kwrlreed. “Lots of juices retained by cooking it wrapped in foil. Great flavor.”

Growing up, Mom would always make this for dinner on Easter Sunday or New Year’s Day,” says recipe creator France C. “The bacon adds a wonderful smoky flavor to the outside of the lamb, and the garlic permeates the meat throughout.”

“This recipe makes a fantastic holiday meal, but everyone likes it so much that you won’t wait for a holiday to make it again,” says recipe creator DarlisJ. “Impressive as it looks and tastes, it is actually quite simple to make, and it’s basically a meal in one roasting pan so even clean-up is a breeze.”

"The lamb in this dish is succulent and extremely tasty," according to recipe creator Bibus. "Lamb is roasted to perfection with flageolet beans. Serve with rosemary potatoes, if desired."
