Combine in a blender - 1/4 cup olive oil 3 garlic cloves 1/2 cup basil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and coarse ground pepper - pulse until garlic is integrated. Rub or paint all over the lamb and cover - let sit for 1-2 hours in the fridge. cook on 350 in the oven or grill on the barbecue for a really deep aromatic taste. Good Luck!

Rosemary goes great with lamb. Chop up some rosemary very fine, and some extra virgin olive oil to it, and then rub it all over the lamb before roasting it. It is wonderful. Throw some garlic in there too!

Answer 9

I am a former chef and like either dried or fresh herbs, rosemary and oregano are my favorites, both either fresh or dried, I mix them with some oil, and then a mash of garlic and herbs then rub it in and let it stand for 2-3 hours either wrapped in saran wrap.

Then you can either roast, grill or rotissiere the piece of lamb, I like it for both leg, loin, shoulder and rack of lamb, I also when I use rosemary, tie a few branches together and use it as a basting brush on the meat as it cooks.

I like using rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Then putting it on the grill. Also, if you want to you could use a dijion mustard coasting and add the above herbs. If you do use the dijion mustard coating add some basil.
