One of the Hubs favorite meals is lamb ... in any possible way. Problem is a big leg of lamb is too much for just the us two. But last weekend I actually found a small 3 pound boneless leg of lamb. It was perfect just for us two! I marinated it for a little over 24 hours and I have got to tell you it was so tender, succulent, juicy and it was packed with flavor. Sometimes a marinade can take over the beautiful flavor of what it is marinating. Not this marinade, it compliments the lamb beautifully, bringing out the robust, yet delicate flavor of the lamb. The rosemary, lemon and garlic enhance the natural sweetness that is in the lamb. Add to that, roasting beautiful simple vegetables, like onions, potatoes and carrots, right along with the succulent roasted lamb and you have an all in one pan meal. It's simply perfect!
