Leg of Lamb, Fennel Seeds, and Orange

The strong flavors of the marinade are not as apparent in the lamb itself, so this subtle dish should not be served with strong-tasting vegetables like ramps or garlic that would overpower the taste of the lamb. Pungent side dishes like curry or other heavily spiced foods should also be avoided. I made the mistake; that’s how I know.

This recipe needs to be started at least a day ahead to let the marinade soak in.
