Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

1 Leg of lamb -- butterflied &
trimmed
MARINADE
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 clove minced garlic
1 tbsp rosemary -- crushed
1 tsp lemon juice -- optional

The easy way here is to get your butcher to trim and butterfly the lamb for you.
It lets you roast the lamb in 1/3 the time of doing it "as is".

Now, mix up the marinade, put the lamb into a plastic bag (Ziploc or similar self-sealing bags work extremely well) and pour the marinade over it.
Work it through the bag with your fingers to coat the lamb, seal the bag, and put it into the refrigerator.
Marinade it for at least an hour; overnight is better.

This the cooking method that Julia Child calls "broil-roasting;" it produces very good results in a surprisingly short time.
Arrange the lamb on a roasting pan, butterflied out so that it lies flat, with the "skin" side (i.e. the outside, not the meaty part that lay against the bone) up.
Put it under the broiler/griller for 5 minutes. Yes, you read that right - just a couple of minutes. This is to seal the surface.
Now, move the lamb to a preheated 375 Farenheit (190 Centigrade) oven and roast for about 20 minutes, depending on how thick it is and your desired degree of doneness.

When it's done, take it out and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before carving, in order to let the meat reabsorb the juices.
Butterflied lamb is a breeze to carve, but less tidy-looking than a straight roasted leg.
