dude...you need at least 8 hours in the brine...especially if it is a leg. How big is it? Bone in?

We brined a roast of lamb (the cut was whatever the top of the leg is called) last Saturday & it was the frikkin' bomb. I will never cook another chunk of lamb again without brining it first.

I also suggest adding some anise seeds, caraway, balck peppercorns & star anise to your brine.

I also suggest.....

i just got a bottle of l'ermitage from Chasse-Spleen for $25 from my local wine mart...i had a bottle when we were in Paris and it was outstanding...was psyched to see it for such a good price here. i recall the bottle being around 20 euro in Paris, and that was 2 years ago.
