    Tatyana, I am getting a boneless leg of lamb that is already wrapped with twine. How key is it to open it up and put the spread on the inside?

      Hi Bob! I would highly recommend opening it to get all the flavor inside as well! It will be worth it! Enjoy 🙂

      Awesome!! 🙂 I’m so glad to hear that everyone enjoyed it! It’s one of those meats that can seem intimidating at first! 🙂

    I was going to try another leg of lamb where you have to marinate it overnight. You always look simpler. Will let you know after the Christmas 2021 holiday thank you

    Can I prep this in the morning and cook it that same evening? Or do I have to prep it and cook it right away?

    Hi Tatyana I was just wondering can I prep the lamb meat in the morning and cook later that even? Or do I have to prep it and cook it right away?
    I’m really excited to try your recipe for my family Christmas Eve dinner.

    This was SO delicious! I have to say, I have always been a little intimidated by the thought of cooking a whole lamb leg. I followed the instructions and the meat came out so juicy and flavorful. No additional sauce needed! Saving this recipe for the future. Thank you for sharing!

    Tatyana – We raise our own grass fed lamb, and I am always looking for a great roast leg of lamb recipe. I will look no more! Used your recipe for a special dinner with family and it was an instant hit! Thank you so much! This recipe is awesome!

    How many pounds is your leg of lamb usually when making this recipe?

    • Reply
      • tatyanaseverydayfood

      I usually use a 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 pound boneless leg of lamb. The bone in will typically weigh a little bit more. Enjoy!

    This looks so marvelous and I just KNOW it will be delicious. Excellent video! I read that you are originally from Ukraine–my commiserations for the dreadful situation your former compatriots are in. All the best to you in the New Year!

      Hi Zoe! I hope you enjoy it! It’s one of my favorites for holidays and the meat always comes out so juicy and tender!
      Thank you! Yes, originally from Ukraine. Hoping this ugly war ends soon!

    Hi Tatyana,
    I’ve been searching for a recipe. Newbie to cooking lamb. Can you give me a general rule for the cooking time. Is it 20 minutes per pound approximately?

    • Reply
      • tatyanaseverydayfood

      Hi Joanie! I’m so glad you found my recipe. I always make this lamb for Easter! Yes, approximately 20 minutes per pound is a great rule of thumb. I always recommend using a meat thermometer for best results. You’ll want to insert it deep into the center to get the most accurate reading. Hope you love it!

        Thank you! One more question. Can you make gravy using this recipe or are all the drippings on the potatoes?

    You never answered the gravy question. I am going to make gravy even if the meat turns out to be juicy. I am making this for lunch tomorrow and I am a very bad cook so here’s hoping it turns out as delicious as it looks in the photos.

      Hi! Sorry, I don’t see any comment regarding gravy for this recipe. I usually don’t make one, but it won’t hurt! Hope everyone enjoys the lamb!

    I know you said fresh, but what if we only have a frozen lamb and didn’t have time to thaw? What can we do in this scenario!

    • Reply
      • tatyanaseverydayfood

      Hi Inessa. Unfortunately, you cannot roast the lamb frozen. You can defrost the meat in large bowl of pot of cold water. Change the water every 30 minutes; make sure it’s cold! This might still take some time, but faster than defrosting for a few days.

    Is it ok if I use dry herbs of the thyme & rosemary?
    I plan on making it again this year but I may not be able to get my hands on fresh thyme and rosemary.
    I made this last year for Christmas and it was amazing!!

      Hi Jackie. I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe last year! It’s one of my favorites for the holidays, too.
      Yes, you can use dried herbs for this recipe, too. I would use about 2 teaspoons dried thyme and 3 teaspoons dried rosemary.
      Hope it’s a hit again this year! Merry Christmas!
