Leg of Lamb with Herbs and Mustard
"This came out very tender and moist. I cooked mine longer since my husband prefers it more well done. I didn't use bay, but used fresh oregano instead. I will definitely use this recipe in the future. I marinated it for about half the time. Still was very good." —martyj
