Sage-Crusted Leg of Lamb with Pineapple-Pecan Salsa

Kosher salt is a coarse-grained salt. Many prefer its chunky texture over regular table salt.

Yield: 8 servings
Cook time:1 Hour, 30 Minutes
Prep time:10 Minutes
Total:1 Hour, 50 Minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 (5- to 6-pound) bone-in leg of lamb
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Pineapple-Pecan Salsa

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl.

Cut about 16 slits (about 1/2" deep) into lamb; insert garlic slices and a small amount of seasoned oil into each slit. Rub remaining oil over entire surface of lamb.

Place lamb on a rack in a roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into thickest part of roast, making sure it does not touch bone or fat.

Bake at 500° for 20 minutes; reduce temperature to 300°, and bake 1 hour and 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 150° (medium rare) or 160° (medium). Let stand 10 minutes. Slice lamb diagonally across the grain. Serve with Pineapple-Pecan Salsa.
