1 Tangle Ridge Ranch lamb leg
½ cup Dijon mustard
½ cup grainy Dijon
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp. coarse chopped rosemary
1 Tbsp. coarse chopped oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Pat the lamb dry with a clean paper towel
Using a paring knife, slice the garlic cloves in half lengthwise
Make 6 small slits into the leg of lamb throughout, and stud each slit with a piece of garlic
Combine the two mustards, olive oil and the herbs in a bowl
Using your hands, rub the mustard mix all over the leg of lamb, working it all generously. Season and sides well

Roast the leg of lamb at this temperature for 10-12 minutes to begin to brown the roast
Lower the temperature to 300F and continue to cook until the internal temperature of 145F, about 60 minutes, then remove from oven and left rest
