We had relatives over for leg of lamb. We love it.....they tolerate it. He came armed with a jar of mint jelly to cover the flavor.
I plugged the lamb with garlic, dusted with salt pepper and oregano and cooked at 130 of 24 hours. I used the cooking juices to make gravy.
To finish, I used a hot grill, one minute per side. The roast was very pink and I was concerned about gaminess. Oh my, what a result! Hands down the best lamb I have ever eaten. He took the first bite and said " this doesn't taste like lamb". The mint jelly sat unused. She said "where can I buy one of those things"? There were no leftovers from a two and a half pound piece of meat.
In summary, if you like lamb, sous vide it and dare to go rare. If you don't like lamb try it again

I've often heard that you shouldn't use fresh garlic with Sous Vide as the long cooking times can make it taste rancid, but I do love garlic with my lamb! Did you find this effect at all? I've so far kept it at dried or powdered garlic.
Didn't get a bitter taste but, even though I used a lot of garlic, the flavor of garlic was not intense. If you want the garlic to stand out, powder might be a better choice.
