Yogurt-Marinated Leg of Lamb Recipe #367890
I was looking for an easy yet different way to make Leg of Lamb for Easter dinner this year. I found this recipe at Rachael Ray's web site. The lamb turned out tender and very delicious. Served it with rosemary roasted potatoes and veggie sides.
The recipes says serves 6 but we had plenty left over that I made Gyros for dinner the next night.

SERVES 6
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 5 lbs leg of lamb, bone-in
- 1. In a 2-gallon resealable plastic bag, combine the yogurt, olive oil, mint, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the lamb, turning to coat evenly, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the lamb fat side up in a roasting pan and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 145° for medium rare, about 1 1/2 hours. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
