#### **Ingredients:**
- 1 leg of lamb (approx. 4 lbs)
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
#### **Preparation Steps:**
**Step 1: Preheat Your Oven and Broiler**
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) for the slow roasting part.
- Turn on your broiler to high heat.
**Step 2: Butterfly the Leg of Lamb**
- Lay the leg of lamb flat on a cutting board.
- Using kitchen shears, carefully cut along one side of the bone to butterfly it open, ensuring not to cut through the other side.
- Remove any excess fat and membrane from the lamb. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
**Step 3: Prepare the Marinade**
- In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, olive oil, and remaining salt and pepper.
- Rub this marinade all over the butterflied leg of lamb to ensure it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
**Step 4: Roast the Lamb**
- Place the marinated lamb on a roasting pan with its bone side up.
- Roast the lamb in the preheated oven until it reaches an internal temperature of about 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. This should take approximately 25-30 minutes.
**Step 5: Broil the Lamb**
- Once the desired internal temperature is reached, transfer the lamb to a broiler pan.
- Place the lamb under the high heat of your broiler and broil until it reaches your preferred doneness (about another 5-10 minutes).
**Step 6: Rest the Meat**
- Let the lamb rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps to lock in moisture, making the meat tender and juicy.
#### **Tips for Success:**
- Ensure your lamb is well-marinated; it will enhance its flavor significantly.
- Use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature accurately.
- Always let the meat rest after cooking; this allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
By following these detailed steps, you can enjoy a delicious broiled and slow roasted butterflied leg of lamb with cumin and garlic. This dish is perfect for special occasions or family gatherings, offering a rich and flavorful experience.
