Lamb Roast with roasted potatoes & radishes and a Greek Salad |
1 (5 - 5 1/2 pound) leg of lamb or 4 - 4 1/2 pound boneless lamb roast
3 -4 large cloves of garlic, peeled
1/3 cup soy sauce (Aloha Brand Lower Salt)**
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried mint, crushed (or 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped)
red or white potatoes (2 pounds) or radishes (or both)
Method:
Trim most of the fat from the lamb. Cut garlic lengthwise into 12 slivers. With the tip of a sharp knife, make 12 small punctures in lamb and insert a sliver of garlic into each. (Space garlic so flavor will permeate roast.) Place lamb in a bowl or shallow dish. Mix the soy sauce, oil and mint and pour over lamb. Marinate one hour at room temperature, turning often. Preheat oven to 450*. Remove lamb from marinade and place in a baking pan. (Reserve marinade for potatoes.)
Place roast, uncovered, in preheated oven. Reduce temperature to 350*. Roast lamb 20 minutes per pound for a rare roast, 25 minutes per pound for a medium roast and 30 minutes per pound for a well done roast.
While the lamb is roasting, wash & quarter potatoes. If using radishes, halve or leave whole . Boil in water to cover for 5 minutes. Drain and toss in reserved marinade. Place in pan with lamb or in a separate greased baking dish. Bake for one hour, turning and basting occasionally. Remove lamb from pan and let rest, covered with foil, for 20 minutes before carving. (Keep potatoes and radishes warm and covered in turned off oven. Serves 8.

**I use Aloha brand lower salt Hawaiian soy sauce, because it is VERY low carb.
Notes: Our family likes the lamb roast medium rare, with a mixture of potatoes and radishes. This is so simple and so delicious. (Even people who don't think they like lamb, like it cooked this way.)
