We are having LAMBWe have not had lamb in a while so its a treat. Its a leg portion so its a good sized hunk of meat.Lamb is a very tender cut, and expensive so I take a bit more care in cooking it.First I rub good quality olive oil all over the leg. I will then brown the entire thing turning frequently until the entire leg is a nice light golden brown. I guess you could broil it as well, I just do it in my big ol cast iron skillet ( a heavy 22 incher) after its golden brown I season with Kosher salt, fresh black pepper, fresh crushed garlic several cloves and some fresh rosemary haf doz sprigs cut up. I rub this all over the leg. I then put it back in the same skillet and tent it with some foil so the herbs dont burn. Oven is set to 325 degrees for about an hour. After an hour remove it and take its temperature. I want mine to be at 135 degrees or a bit more.... which is medium rare to medium. I dont like lamb rare but cooked and pink.FYIRoasting Temperature: 325°FRare: 125°F (about 15 minutes per pound)Medium-Rare: 130°F to 135°F (about 20 minutes per pound)Medium: 135°F to 140°F (about 25 minutes per pound)Well-Done: 155°F to 165°F (about 30 minutes per pound)If you need too, continue to cook it uncovered till it reaches the temp ya want.Remember it will still cook for a bit after you take it out. I let mine rest for at least 30 minutes.I take the trouble to use the thermometer as it will guarantee success. This is not a 5 dollar pork roast. Mine will look just like the pick below I found on google...This is the degree of doneness we like. FYI, Leftovers can be frozen. Just wrap in foil. DONT microwave it later. heat in the foil to warm up and serve. Wrap individual portions to freeze.Its just me an Jan so we will be freezing some of the leftovers. Homer gets the bone.I also make a mint pesto to go with this...4 packed cups mint leaves1/3 cup blanched almonds2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped1/4 cup olive oil, plus more if necessaryKosher salt and freshly ground black pepperBlend all the ingredients in a small food processor or chopper until finely chopped. If not using immediately, store in the refrigerator with plastic wrap completely covering and touching the surface of the pesto to prevent oxidization. This will oxidize quick so I only make what I use for supper. You can put in a small squirt of lemon juice to help retard this. Its good stuff and ez to make. Goes so well with the lamb. 4951

I'm going to attempt burgers in the oven. Last time I tried to grill, the steaks caught on fire. I'm a horrible cook. 4951

@nicole4647, are you young and newly married? If so, give it time. First time I cooked fried chicken it was still raw and nasty, lol. Nevermind, I still can't make fried chicken. 4951

Domino's. And enough for leftovers tomorrow night - woo hoo!  No shame here what with the rough week with landscapers botching up our backyard, and all of the calls I've been making since then...Add to that crazy projects at work (seriously, Lync/IM is the devil), the kids, etc.  No joke - I forgot to pick one kid up from school on Tuesday. The school had to call... I'm done and I've had 2 Stellas... ready for the 3rd when the kids go to bed. DH is already in bed. 4951
