Leg of Lamb Roast

Leg of Lamb Roast

EverydayCooked

Leg of lamb roast is a premium cut from the hindquarters of young sheep, prized for its tender texture and rich, game-adjacent flavor. This protein-rich meat provides significant amounts of iron and zinc, though its marbled fat content—particularly saturated fat—is higher than leaner poultry cuts. Typically slow-roasted with herbs like rosemary or garlic, the bone-in variety retains moisture during cooking while contributing to its characteristic savory depth.
