Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a paste.
Rub the paste all over the leg of lamb, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the lamb on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and put it in the preheated oven.
Roast the lamb for about 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
While the lamb is roasting, prepare the mint sauce. In a bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar in 2 tablespoons of hot water.
Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar and finely chopped mint leaves to the sugar solution, stirring well.
Let the mint sauce sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
Serve the sliced lamb with the mint sauce on the side. Enjoy!
