Looking for recipe ideas.... leg of lamb

No slap to the rabbit people, this post is directed at meat eaters who cook...

Tomorrow I will be cooking a leg of lamb, and I'm looking for ideas.
I was thinking...

Of stabbing it with a small knife and inserting half cloves of garlic, about
twenty of them. I know from experience they'll all but dissolve in the meat
as it roasts. Then rub with oil and kosher salt. Put it under the broiler after
placing it in a rocket hot iron fry pan, to sear it all the way around.

Once it's turning crispy and dark on the outside, into a hot dutch oven
and baste with a quarter cup of home made sweet cherry wine. Roast at 375
till internal temp is just under done, then pull and cover to rest for twenty
minutes while I make a reduction gravy from the juice.
I'll add a few more table spoons of sweet cherry wine to the gravy
as it reduces, and scrape the dutch oven to get the goodness.

Served on a bed of baby spinach, with carrots cooked in
chicken broth and covered in the reduction gravy.

Thoughts?
