Oven-Roasted Boneless Leg of Lamb Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Oven-Roasted Boneless Leg of Lamb Recipe). I purchased a leg of lamb roast from the store recently but had no idea on how I'd cook it. After reading ideas here on Allrecipes, I came up with my own marinade. While I made this in a conventional oven, it could also be made in a slow cooker on the slow setting for 7 to 8 hours time). Hope it's a hit! There was enough marinade left that I threw it over some chicken tenders for tomorrow's dinner.
