Garlic and Rosemary Roasted Lamb: A Showstopper Dish

Ever wonder if you can eat gourmet on a broke budget? Same. Here’s my hack: embrace delightful, affordable ingredients like lamb, and transform them into something spectacular! Imagine a succulent roast with No oven needed! Perfect for busy moms, broke students, and anyone looking to eat better without breaking the bank.

What Makes This Special

• No oven needed!
• Family-friendly and picky-eater approved
• Zero fancy kitchen gear needed
• Leftovers are even better the next day
• Easy to meal prep or double for later

Ingredients

• 2 lbs lamb shoulder or leg, trimmed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix together the garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to form a marinade.
2. Rub the marinade all over the lamb, ensuring it’s well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the lamb on all sides until browned.
4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow the lamb to cook for about 1 hour, turning occasionally.
5. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 10 minutes to develop a deeper crust.
6. Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
