Leg of lamb has never been easier than this recipe for Italian Marinated Lamb that gives a delicious meal in just a few easy steps and only 3 ingredients! 
Lamb and I have a complicated relationship. Lamb can be very game-y (which is precisely why my husband loves it so much), but when slow roasted, it can be soft and rich like a roast- with tons of flavor.
Luckily, its pretty easy to get a delicious, un-fussy leg of lamb with this incredibly easy Italian Marinated Leg of Lamb recipe that includes just 3 ingredients!
It's important to note that I don't recommend skipping the browning step before the lamb goes in the oven.
Searing your meat helps to lock in juices and flavor so your lamb doesn't dry out- and gives it a delicious flavor you won't just get by tossing in a dutch oven to bake right off the bat.
Luckily, you can brown the meat and roast it in the exact same pan- use a heavy dutch oven with a lid and sear it without the lid, adding the lid when it goes into the oven.
One less pan to clean- my kind of meal!
