- PREPARE AND ROAST THE LAMB:
- Pat the lamb dry with paper towels. Score the fat by making shallow cuts all over with tip of sharp, small knife. Tuck a sliver of garlic clove inside of each cut. Rub olive oil all over the outside of the roast.
- In a small bowl, stir together the minced garlic, sea salt, rosemary and black pepper. Mash it around a bit until it turns into somewhat of a paste.
- Place the lamb into lightly oiled roasting pan. Rub paste all over the lamb. MAKE AHEAD TIP: At this point, you can wrap the lamb in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours (or overnight).
- Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting. Place a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Roast at the high heat for 15 minutes (uncovered). Then turn the temperature down to 375°F and continue to roast for about another 1 hour to 1½ hours. Watch the meat thermometer closely. When it reaches 150°F., pull the roast out of the oven. Remove the roast to a cutting board and let it rest- the temperature should rise to about 160°F.
- MAKE THE SAUCE:
- While the lamb is resting, prepare the sauce. Add wine to pan and de-glaze by boiling over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits for about 1 minute.
- Take out a bit of the liquid and mix with the cornstarch. Add it back to the pan along with the butter. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with the lamb.

- In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Trim off any excess fat that may lie beneath the fell, but not all, you might want to leave some to enrich the flavor of the meat and/or gravy. Make incisions with a knife that are about 1 inch long and 1/2 inch deep.
- Apply the rub to the leg of lamb evenly, making sure to fill the incisions with some of the rub. Let the leg of lamb sit at room temperature for about half hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 F degrees. You'll need a large roasting pan fitted with a rack, pour the broth in the bottom of the pan and transfer leg to the pan. Roast it for about 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325 F degrees and continue roasting until cooked to your liking. For medium rare, you want the temperature to be 135 F degrees, for more well done, you need it to be 160 F degrees, this will take a couple hours.
- Let the lamb rest for 20 minutes before carving it.
- While the lamb is resting, you can make the gravy by removing the rack from the roasting pan and placing the pan across 2 burners over medium-high heat. Add wine to the drippings and bring to a simmer while whisking a bit. In a small bowl whisk together the flour with the broth then pour it into the roasting pan and whisk until gravy thickens, should take about a minute. Pour into a gravy bowl and serve with lamb.
