How to make roast leg of lamb:

Preheat oven to 450°. Shave off all but a 1/16-inch layer of fat from top (rounded side) and sides of leg. Dig extra fat out of tail assembly and shave excess fat off bottom side. Make small incisions all over lamb with the point of a knife; insert a sliver into each slit. Massage oil all over surface of lamb. To help it brown and to give it a subtle flavor, rub all over with soy sauce. Place, topside up, on rack in pan.

Roasting: Set lamb in middle level of preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes. Baste with oil; turn oven thermostat down to 350°. Whether you have a 5 or 7 1/2-pound leg, it will take about 1 1/4 hours in all to reach a meat thermometer reading of 125° to 130°, 10 minutes or so longer for 140°. If you don't use a thermometer, a sure indication that you have reached medium-rare is when the first meat juices begin to appear in the pan. If you prick the meat, the juices will run light pink; if they run clear yellow, the lamb is well done.

Finishing and Holding the Lamb: As soon as lamb is done, remove to a board; turn off oven. Skim fat out of roasting pan and deglaze pan by pouring in the wine. Set pan over moderate heat. With a wooden spoon, scrape up the coagulated juices from the bottom. Transfer to a saucepan. Add stock; simmer for 20 minutes. Just before serving, reheat, correct seasonings and strain into a warm sauce bowl. There will be enough sauce to moisten each serving of meat. When lamb has rested 20 minutes, it is ready to serve. Makes 10 servings.
