Roasted Leg of Lamb with Brussels Sprouts is a terrific way to skip all of the long prep required on most holiday meals. A Thanksgiving feast in under an hour? Sign me up!
Easy and Delicious!
I purchased this leg of lamb at our local Costco. Nothing fancy! It was a nice boneless roast, under $20. I removed the mesh stockinette from the roast and pressed the roast out flat. Roasting time was reduced to 35 minutes! How awesome is that!?
As long as the oven was heated, I added a side dish to cook at the same time. Roasted Leg of Lamb with Brussels Sprouts is easy because you cook the main dish and the vegetable side at the same time. Plus, both use the same garlicky dressing. Again, easy!
You can add some mint to the minced herbs, but I preferred the simplicity of garlic, parsley and rosemary. Plus, if you add the Jalapeño Cranberry Sauce to your table, you don’t want too many strong competing flavors.
All the Trimmings
I also added the No Fail Yeast Rolls to the table. Of course, those took a little more time, but if you make the dough a day in advance you can still cook your meal in about an hour.
Make sure to let your Roasted Leg of Lamb with Brussels Sprouts rest for about 10 minutes before you carve into slices. Also, check the internal temperature of the roast with a meat thermometer. There is a table of temperatures in the recipe so you can achieve the perfect level of doneness.
I am making Roasted Leg of Lamb with Brussels Sprouts again soon. After I made this batch, I decided to keep a leg of lamb in the freezer just in case company drops by. The lamb was absolutely delicious, so easy and quick! Every holiday meal should be this stress free!
