12 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
6 tablespoons virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons sea salt
3 tablespoons freshly-cracked black pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Butter open leg of lamb and set aside.
Place garlic, rosemary, olive oil, sea salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth. Remove paste and smear all over inside and outside of lamb.
