    How To Make The Best Roast Leg of Lamb

    Leg of lamb ready to be roasted
    • To get started, preheat the oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
    • Take a large baking pan and place the leg of lamb in it. Carefully make 5 to 6 cuts into the surface of the lamb.
    • Fill the cuts with salt, mint, pepper, garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs leaving some of the garlic and rosemary. Toss the remaining rosemary and garlic into the base of the pan.
    • Rub the lamb with the olive oil so that it is entirely coated and then season with salt and pepper.
    • Pour the vegetable broth into the baking pan along with enough water to reach ¼ inch height in the baking pan.
    • Cover the pan with aluminum foil and tightly wrap the sides so that steam can circulate inside while it cooks. Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
    • Once the leg of lamb is ready, remove it from the oven. Open the foil and remove any sprigs of rosemary and garlic from the pan. Transfer the lamb to a plate and cover it again to keep warm and rest.
    • Now it's time to make the gravy. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop. Set the stove to medium-high heat and add the almond flour. Whisk until well combined with the juices.
    • Pour in the vegetable broth while simultaneously whisking. Cook the gravy down for a few minutes until it becomes a velvety and thick gravy.
    • Serve the lamb with a generous serving of gravy and your favorite low carb sides!

    Calories: 333kcal

    Ingredients 

    • 6 lb Leg of Lamb bone in
    • 4 cloves Garlic sliced in half
    • 4 sprigs Rosemary
    • ¼ cup Broth
    • 5 teaspoon Olive Oil
    • 1 teaspoon Dried Mint
    • 1 teaspoon Salt
    • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground

    • 5 tablespoon Almond Flour
    • 2 cups Vegetable Broth

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 356°F.
    • Place the leg of lamb in a large baking pan and carefully make 5-6 incisions randomly, to the surface of lamb.
    • Fill the incisions with salt, mint, pepper, the cloves of garlic and the rosemary sprigs.
    • Toss the remaining rosemary and garlic in the pan.
    • Rub the lamb with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
    • Pour the broth in the pan along with enough water to cover the bottom of the pan by ¼-inch in height.
    • Cover the pan with aluminum foil, folding the edges to secure that the steam circulates to cook the meat instead of escaping the pan.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
    • Remove from the oven and make the gravy.
    • Remove the lamb carefully from the pan and set aside covered to keep warm. Remove any sprigs of rosemary and garlic from the pan.
    • Place the roasting pan on the stovetop. Turn the heat on to medium-high and add the almond flour. Whisk to combine.
    • Pour in broth in a stream, while whisking. Cook for a few minutes until it’s reduced to a velvety, thick gravy.
    • Serve the lamb with a generous dose of the gravy.
