I made this roast and it exceeded my wildest expectations. I was literally dumbfounded by the outcome - the appearance, the taste, the reaction of all the guests at my Easter dinner table. One of the most practical aspects of the video instructions, which I really appreciated, was rolling the lamb up into an elongated loaf. This resulted in my being able to cut the roast into 16 nearly uniform round slices.

I' have made this recipe twice and I love the flavor! The meat came out moist and the bread topping is perfectly crusty. It is now my favorite recipe! Thank you!

[alantaylor]

My favourite joint, stuffed with garlic, rosemary and mint. Delicious. Great recipe ladies...

[oliviahaddock]

Looks wonderful. I was looking for your recipe.

[dirtyunday]

Everyone complains if I try to make lamb. This recipe was a hit! Whole family liked it.

[calumk]

Just made this. Delicious thank you so much. I found that the first oven period post browning in the skillet was perfect at 25 mins, followed by the second cook with herb crumble at 10 mins. Made for perfect medium rare and medium at the outer edges. Really lovely recipe. Thank you.

OH MY HEAVENS!!! That was probably the MOST beautiful leg of lamb roast I've EVER seen!! I was trying to figure out how I was going to cook my roast, it was between oven roasting or using my Insta-Pot to pressure cook it. I do believe that America's Test Kitchen has won my vote!! I'm super excited to try this for tonight's dinner!! Thank you so much, ladies!! Bon apetite!!!

[autumnsky]

Thank you very much for your short, clear instruction

[margaretcross]

Delicious! Thank you! It's the best recipe I've found for boneless leg of lamb!

Looks amazing. Can't believe you only have roast lamb once a year. I'm Australian and we eat WAYYYY more roast lamb than you guys do. Aussies love their roast lamb!

[pealees]

I love following you all. I am making lamb tonight! Perfect timing

[yvangnutov]

The best part is the lamb sandwiches the next day with Dijon 😋

[brandon]

Actually, this is the way I cook the rack for decades. I never attempted to make the leg because of the gaminess but think I'll give it a try. Thanks

I am a lamb girl and might have to try this. I usually marinade my lamb in EVOO, red wine, herbs Provençal, garlic, a little Dijon. My friends love to come over for lamb roast! That looks very yummy!
