Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season the leg of lamb generously with salt and black pepper.

In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, and mustard to create a paste.

Rub the herb paste all over the lamb, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Place the lamb in a roasting pan and surround it with chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes.

Pour red wine and chicken broth into the pan to add moisture during roasting.

Add bay leaves and thyme around the lamb for additional flavor.

Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for about 1.5-2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Baste the lamb with pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist.

Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and tent it with foil; let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

Serve the lamb with the roasted vegetables and drizzle with pan juices.
