About Whole Leg of Lamb
Whole Leg of Lamb is offered by Laurel Highlands Farms as part of our Pennsylvania farm-direct lamb program. LAMB · per lb
A whole leg of lamb is bone-in, and that bone adds flavor to the meat around it during a long, slow roast. It is the traditional way to serve lamb for a holiday or a large gathering, typically roasted with herbs and garlic and carved at the table once rested.
A whole bone-in leg of lamb usually runs five to seven pounds and is well suited to a slow roast of two to three hours at moderate heat, basted occasionally, until it reaches your preferred doneness. Letting it rest for fifteen to twenty minutes before carving makes a noticeable difference in juiciness.

Good to know
Fresh lamb keeps best refrigerated at 40°F or below and should be cooked within a few days of thawing; for longer storage keep it frozen in the original vacuum packaging. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator on a tray and pat the meat dry before cooking for a better crust.
Pasture-raised lamb has a clean, mild flavor when it is not overcooked. Cook chops and racks quickly to medium-rare or medium, and give shoulder, shank and breast cuts the long, gentle heat that turns their connective tissue tender. Always rest the meat before carving.
