Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Select Lamb

Look for lamb that is pinkish red and has a velvety texture. Dark red meat usually indicates the meat is older.

Tender, moist, delicioso! This is the second time I'm making this for Easter dinner. Even those who say, "I don't like lamb", love this roast. The secret is in the marinade .. overnight is best!

Was really great, seeing how I don't do much lamb. Also is good to sub with roast beef.

I really enjoyed this dish. I have been into organic foods and cooking for a while and it's great to cook with organic food because it comes out so much better than ordinary food from the supermarket or something. Try this and other recipes organically and you will be amazed! Oh, and don't mention it is organic to other guests because that way they will be ultra suprised thinking it's ordinary lamb (but it aint!)

This was my first time preparing lamb, and was very nerves that it wouldn't taste like some of the lamb I've eaten at upscale resturants. This was a real easy recipe to follow. My lamb was AWESOME. Even my 14 yrs old son loved it.

I love leg of lamb. And leaving here in Sonoma County California we have that privledge of getting local lamb. This recipe was excellent, and will remain in my recipe file. Replacing the other recipes I have for Lamb. Thanks!!

It was easy to make. The lamb turned out tender and juicy. My husband raved about it and he is not a big lover of lamb.
