Serve a memorable Easter dinner with Garlic-Herb Roast Leg of Lamb at the center.

Ingredients

1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
6 large cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
3 tinned anchovy fillets
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 semi-boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and tied (7 to 8 lb.)

Instructions

Combine rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, zest, anchovy fillets, pepper and oil in a food processor; puree until a fairly smooth paste forms, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary. Pat lamb dry and make 1-inch-deep slits all over with a small, sharp knife. Rub paste on lamb and into slits. Place lamb on a rack in a large roasting pan, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Transfer to countertop 1 hour before roasting.
Preheat oven to 400 °F. Roast lamb for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 °F and roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of lamb, not touching bone, registers 135 °F for medium-rare (temperature will rise to 145 °F as lamb rests), 1 to 1 1/4 hours longer. Remove lamb from oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest 20 minutes.
