      Directions

      Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

      Season the meat with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix the herbs with the olive oil and bread crumbs. Rub both sides of the lamb with the herb mixture. Using the kitchen string, tie up the lamb leg at 2-inch intervals. Place in roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Add the wine and water or broth to the roasting pan and cook for another 30 to 40 minutes, or until the thickest part of the lamb reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F for medium. Take the lamb out of the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let the meat rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.

        I actually used this recipe on Beef tenderloin instead of the Lamb and used my meat thermometer to gauge my internal temperature for medium rare, and it was excellent, so I am sure it would be excellent on Lamb as well. It was an easy recipe and as always Giada was SPOT ON!!!! She is my ALL time favorite chef on TV...
