Herb Crusted Lamb and Potatoes

Herb Crusted Lamb and Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 1 3.5-4 lb. boneless leg of lamb
• 3 large cloves garlic, sliced
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon thyme
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 15 new potatoes, cut into quarters
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Cut slits all over the lamb and insert garlic slices into the slits. Brush lamb with 2 tablespoons olive oil. In a small bowl combine 2 tsp. thyme, 2 tsp. rosemary, 1 tsp. pepper and coriander. Pat herb mixture evenly over the lamb. Place lamb in a shallow roasting pan. Combine the potatoes, remaining herbs and olive oil and arrange around the roast. Roast at 325 degrees for about 2 hours or until meat thermometer reaches 120 degrees for rare (start testing around 1-1/2 hrs.), stirring the potatoes every 30 minutes. (For well done meat roast 30 to 45 minutes longer.) Serves 4.
