Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons dijon mustard I like whole seed mustard for this recipe
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted (try a grass-fed butter like Kerrygold)
  • 1 leg of lamb mine was 4 pounds, if you get a large leg of lamb, double the mustard and butter
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

  • Place leg of lamb in a roasting pan, fat side up.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix melted butter and mustard and spread over top of meat.
  • If adding roasting vegetables, place in the pan around the meat.
  • As soon as you place the meat in the oven reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and cook according to how well-done you prefer it.
  • Let rest 5 minutes before slicing
