Instructions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Using a sharp paring knife, carefully pierce the surface of the lamb evenly 24 times, making each slit about 1 1/2 inches deep. Stuff garlic cloves in some and fresh mint leaves in others, making sure theyre pushed all the way into the meat.

Rub the lamb with salt and pepper and place in the roasting pan. Brush with the melted butter and roast for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees for medium, or until desired doneness beyond that, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: If theres any lamb left over, slice it up to make gyro sandwiches. Mmm, mmm!
