Roast Lamb Leg with Polenta

Leg of lamb is a family favorite, provides a great yield for causal or formal meals, and is an ideal cut for roasting, barbecuing or grilling. During the cooking process, surface fat renders and cooks out, making the meat very succulent and tender. It’s a hearty fall or winter dish, but can be lightened up for summer grilling, as in this recipe.
