Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb top round leg of lamb roast

- 1 cup panko
- 1/4 cup packed mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon seeded mustard
- 1 small shallot
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Heat oven to 325. In a roasting pan that can go from stove to oven, slowly heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Combine the panko and dijon to make a paste.
Gently pat all over the leg of lamb.
Brown all sides of the leg of lamb until lightly browned.
Put the pan into the oven and let roast until a thermometer reads 135 degrees F from rare – about 40 minutes.
