Ingredients

Leg of Lamb
  • 1 bone-in leg of lamb (about six pounds)

Directions

  1. In a bowl, add softened butter, parsley, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Score the outside of the leg of lamb by gently slicing a crisscross pattern on the outside fat layer. Lather in the herb butter mixture and place in a Lodge Fish Pan. Add cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper to pan. Spread out evenly. Next, add vegetable broth, white wine & lemon half. Add more broth and wine throughout cook to prevent burning.
