Preheat oven to 500°.
Place lamb on oiled baking sheet. Cut 1/4 inch gashes all around the lamb.
In a small mixing bowl, combine all the spices – pepper, bay leaf, margarine, sage, ginger, thyme and salt.
Rub olive oil all over the lamb and into the gashes. Sprinkle the spice blend into each gash along with one piece of garlic.
