3. Rub the chopped rosemary and thyme all over the leg. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
5. Remove from the refrigerator and allow the temperature of the meat to return to room temperature. This should take 2 hours.
6. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the leg of lamb in a roasting pan and into the oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the lamb reaches a temperature of 135 degrees.
7. Remove the lamb and allow it to sit for at least 20 minutes before carving. The lamb will continue to cook inside and re-absorb its juices.
