This herb-roasted leg of lamb makes a stunning centerpiece for a Spring celebration or Easter brunch—deeply flavorful, tender, and infused with aromatic herbs. For the most robust flavor, marinate the lamb overnight in the herb mixture to allow the seasonings to fully penetrate the meat. If you’re short on time, even a one-hour marinade will still yield a delicious result. Serve this savory roast alongside simple roasted carrots and a crisp fennel and arugula salad for a nourishing, elegant meal that highlights the best of the season. 

Ingredients
4½ pounds bone-in leg of lamb
½ cups fresh dill
¼ cups fresh rosemary
¼ cups lemon juice
¼ cups extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoons lemon zest
6 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
