Ingredients
Before You Begin
Trimming the lamb into three roasts will yield a few large, meaty scraps, which we recommend using to make an accompanying jus. (Discard smaller pieces of fat and silver skin.) Start the jus while the lamb is in the oven, and finish simmering it while the lamb rests. Keep it warm in a small saucepan and return to a simmer just before serving.
Instructions
- Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering; add lamb and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lamb is well browned and onion is soft and golden, about 8 minutes (reduce heat to medium if pan becomes very dark). Add wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute, scraping pan bottom with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Add broth and garlic paste; simmer until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Add any accumulated juices from platter with resting lamb. Strain jus through fine-mesh strainer into small saucepan; add vinegar and serve with sliced lamb, or keep warm until needed.

Why This Recipe Works
For a roasted leg of lamb recipe without the gristle or gaminess, plus great garlic flavor, we started with a meaty, boneless shank end. We separated the meaty loaves to create tidy mini-roasts from which we diligently trimmed away all visible fat and gristle, thus eliminating gamy flavors and making the roast very easy to carve once roasted. Next, we introduced garlic and herb flavors to our roasted leg of lamb recipe with a seasoned brine. We added even more garlic flavor by rubbing a roasted garlic paste onto one side of the lamb. A simple jus adds yet another layer of garlic flavor to this dish.
