I was a bit intimidated with Roast Lamb before. I taught I cannot pull this off, but it’s easy, if not easier than roasting a chicken. Almost a no brainer if I can say so. All you need are a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil. Rub this on the entire lamb, place in the oven, and cook for a few hours or so. And this is better because it’s cooked on a bed of baby potatoes!
Ingredients
1 (2-pounds) boneless lamb shoulder roast, tied with butcher’s twine
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds baby potatoes, halved if large
How to make Roast Lamb
Step 1: Prepare the oven and preheat to 225 degrees C or 450 degrees F.
Step 2: Put the oven rack on the third layer of the oven.
Step 3: In a small mixing bowl, add the garlic, thyme, 1 tablespoon of oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 4: Rub the mixture all over the lamb.
Step 5: Add the potatoes and the rest of the oil in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 6: Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Step 7: Top the potatoes with the lamb.
Step 8: Place the baking dish inside the preheated oven ad roast for about 1 hour. When the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees C, you are done roasting.
Step 9: Remove the roasted lamb from the oven and allow it to sit at room temperature to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Step 10: Remove the twine and slice the roast into small cuts.
Step 11: Serve and enjoy!
