Mouflon Sheep Roast

Before we were hunting buddies, H2E ambassador Mo Seck and I served in the Army together. Upon our retirement, our friendship continued in the form of hunting partners. We traveled to Hawaii together to chase axis deer and mouflon sheep and were fortunate enough to come home with full coolers. This recipe for roast sheep has been one of my favorites.

Ingredients
- 1 leg of lamb bone-in
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped

- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
