Stew Leonard’s NAKED lamb is raised naturally and humanely in pristine pastures in New Zealand, feeding exclusively on fresh grasses, like clover, rye and alfalfa, resulting in a mild flavor and superior tenderness. Plus, Stew’s butchers will trim NAKED lamb to any specifications, making it easier to prepare and enjoy at home. Stew Leonard’s shares their recipe for a beautiful Easter lamb dish:
Ingredients:
5 lb. Stew Leonard’s Naked boneless leg of lamb
4 oz. roasted garlic paste
1 oz. lemon zest
8 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 oz. olive oil

Rub the garlic paste and lemon zest all over the lamb. Put the sprigs of rosemary under the butcher’s twine, add a little more last and pepper.
