6 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1½ | teaspoon | Black peppercorns |
| 1 | tablespoon | Coriander seeds |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| 4 | Cloves garlic, minced | |
| 1 | teaspoon | Orange zest, minced |
| 3 | tablespoons | Olive oil |
| 1 | 3 1/2-lb leg of lamb, shank half, trimmed of excess fat | |
Directions
In a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, grind together the peppercorns and coriander seeds. Place mixture in a small bowl and add remaining ingredients, except lamb, mixing until a paste is formed.
Rub paste all over lamb, place in a noncorrosive baking dish and cover loosely with waxed paper and aluminum foil. Marinate for at least 8 hours at room temperature, or 24 hours in refrigerator.
Bake lamb, with marinade, in the middle of a preheated 375'F oven until the interior temperature is at least 125'F (rare), or 140'F (medium), and skin is golden all over, about 1 hour and 5 minutes to 1½ hours.
Remove pan from oven and let meat rest for 20 minutes before serving.
