  • Meat thermometer (strongly recommended)

  • Cutting board

  • Chef's knife

  • Small bowl (optional)

Prep — 60 Minutes

1. Temper the Lamb

Time: 60 minutes before cooking

Remove:

  • 1 leg of lamb (5–8 lb)

Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels and allow it to rest at room temperature for approximately 1 hour.

Why: Promotes more even cooking and better crust formation.

2. Prepare the Seasoning

Combine:

  • 2–4 tbsp Royal Mountain Blend

  • 2–4 tbsp olive oil

  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced

  • Zest of 1 lemon

Mix into a loose paste.

3. Season the Lamb

Coat the lamb evenly with the seasoning mixture.

Seasoning Rate

  • Approximately 0.45 tbsp Royal Mountain per pound of lamb

Press gently into the surface.

Allow the lamb to rest while the oven preheats.

Roast — High Heat → Low Heat

Stage 1: Build the Crust

Oven Temperature: 450°F

Cook Time: 20–25 minutes

Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan.

Roast until the exterior begins developing color and the herb-pepper crust becomes aromatic.

Stage 2: Finish the Roast

Reduce Oven Temperature: 325°F

Continue roasting until the desired internal temperature is reached.

Important: Cook to temperature, not time.

Rest — 20–30 Minutes

Remove the lamb from the oven and tent loosely with foil.

Allow to rest:

  • 20–30 minutes

before slicing.

Do not skip this step.

Resting allows juices to redistribute throughout the roast, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final dish.
