Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb by Smokinhotchef

This may be one of my best creations yet. There are an array of herbs and spices, most from my own garden, that help bring this leg of lamb up to that of a prized dish in any locale.

I employed the dough hooks on my recently purchased garage sale old Sunbeam Mixmaster, as the knead time is 10 minutes. This…
