A timeless centerpiece — deeply infused with garlic, layered with fresh herbs, and roasted to tender perfection. Crafted using premium halal lamb, this dish delivers bold flavor, elegant presentation, and unforgettable depth.

Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

• 1 whole Divine Foods USA leg of lamb (5–7 lb, bone-in)
• 10–12 garlic cloves, slivered
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• ½ cup halal-friendly stock

Optional for roasting:
• Baby potatoes
• Onions
• Carrots

Preparation

Step 1: Infuse the Lamb

Pat the lamb dry.
Using a small knife, make deep slits throughout the leg.
Insert slivers of garlic into each slit to infuse flavor from within.

Step 2: Prepare the Herb Rub

In a bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Massage the mixture generously over the entire lamb.

Divine Tip:
For deeper flavor, marinate uncovered in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours.

Roasting Instructions

Step 3: Begin Roasting

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan. Add vegetables around it if desired.
Roast for 20 minutes to develop a crisp, flavorful crust.

Step 4: Finish Roasting

Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Add stock to the bottom of the pan to maintain moisture.

Continue roasting based on desired doneness:

• Medium-rare: 15 minutes per pound (internal temperature 130–135°F)
• Medium: 18 minutes per pound (internal temperature 140–145°F)

Step 5: Rest for Juiciness

Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil.
Allow the lamb to rest for 20 minutes before slicing to retain juices and tenderness.

Serving — The Divine Way

Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Spoon the pan juices over the lamb before serving.

Pair with:

• Roasted potatoes
• Grilled vegetables
• Arugula and lemon salad

Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky salt.
