-
Trim all fat off of lamb.
-
Butterfly lamb. (I do this solely so it cooks quicker and more evenly).
-
Place garlic in food processor and finely chop.
-
Place remaining ingredients in the food processor and blend.
-
Spread paste on outside of lamb. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
-
Take lamb out of refrigerator and let sit for 1/2 hour or more to bring to room temperature.
-
Place a digital thermometer in the thickest part of the lamb and set it for 155 (or desired temperature).
-
Place the lamb in a 400 degree oven. After 15 minutes, turn the oven down to 350. Allow to cook. A decent estimate of time for this (or any roast) is 15 minutes plus 20 minutes for every pound.
-
After the lamb is done cooking, pull it out of the oven and allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes.
-
Carve and enjoy!
