First of all, I love Giada's shows and lamb is my fovorite meat. I have been looking for a good leg of lamb recipe ever since my grand mother passed away and took her recipe with her. Considering all the 5-star reviews for this recipe, I was very excited to try it, but I gotta say, this was not the best leg of lamb I ever tasted. In fact, I feel like I just wasted a $30 piece of meat. Maybe the recipe was just a little too simple with not enough spices, cause it wasn't very flavorful imo. I was a bit surprised that garlic was not in the recipe, because almost every recipe I've seen has garlic, but I followed the recipe to the tee. I've been waiting months for local lamb season and saw one for the 1st time this fall, so it's possible I didn't get a good cut because it was also a bit tough. Also, a few more details in the recipe would have been helpful.

Holy cow. If you think you do not like lamb try this and think again. Simple and the smell was unbelievable. I used the leftovers in a shepherds pie that also came out award winning.

My kitchen smelled so mouthwateringly good that I expected this dish to be a letdown, tastewise. BOY, did it live up to the prelude! While not a huge fan of lamb, I like it. BUT I loved this recipe. Don't know that I'd cook the roast again - my husband and I like medium/almost rare meat - which wastes the slightly overcooked outer portions typical of a roast (maybe we should try this roast butterflied?. But I think this recipe will adapt well to a rack, or chops, or - as I saw suggested - to a pork tenderloin. I did double the liquids, and then took them out of the roasting pan and boiled them half to death, adding about 3 tablespoons of butter. This made an excellent sauce.

Wow, where to start? This is absolutely one of my favorite Gia recipes. My entire family LOVES LOVES LOOOVES this! We were not even lamb eaters until we ate this. I make it for my family on sundays, and they all love it-- even my brothers who are super picky eaters ASK me to make this for them.

My oven has been flaky, so to avoid overcooking, I stayed at high heat for only 15 minutes, and used 300 as low heat - took longer, but just as good.

I didn't use wine/stock - instead a did new potatoes cut to 3/4" wedges, under the roasting stand - oiled and seasoned them first - came out crispy outside, soft inside - delicious!

I love the simplicity of preparation and the big flavor punch. I prepared it for my mother-in-law who loves lamb. She and my family love it. My son is requesting me to make it again. I will surely serve again. Thanks so much Giada.
