Ingredients:Â Â Â Â Â Â 
Roast Leg of Lamb
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 10 x garlic cloves
* Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
* 1 x boned, rolled and tied leg of lamb (about 7 pounds)
* 1 cup dry red wine
* 1 cup homemade or canned low-sodium chicken stock
Directions:
Roast Leg of Lamb
1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a blender, combine the oil, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth and emulsified, scraping down the sides as needed.
2. Place the lamb, fat side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan; spread garlic paste all over lamb. Roast in oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135° for medium rare, about 2 hours.
3. Transfer lamb to a platter, and discard string; keep warm while you make the pan sauce.
4. Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Pour wine or 1 cup water into the roasting pan. Place over medium heat, and scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan. Add stock and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until liquid has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Skim fat from surface, as needed.
5. Slice lamb just before serving. Strain sauce into a gravy boat, serve hot with lamb.
