1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Pat the leg of lamb dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.

3

Make small incisions in the lamb and insert slivers of garlic and sprigs of rosemary.

4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5

Sear the lamb on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6

Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan and surround it with chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes.

7

Pour red wine and chicken broth into the roasting pan, adding bay leaves and thyme.

8

Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours.

9

Remove the foil and roast for an additional 30-45 minutes, basting occasionally, until the meat is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

10

While the lamb is roasting, prepare the goat's cheese mixture by combining goat's cheese, chopped fresh mint, and lemon juice in a bowl.

11

Once the lamb is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

12

Serve the lamb slices topped with the goat's cheese mixture and garnished with additional fresh mint.

Enjoy with the roasted vegetables from the pan.
