Roast Lamb

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.

2. 2

   In a large roasting pan combine the red onion, 2 teaspoons oil and garlic in the center of the pan. Place parsley sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs on top of the onion mixture.

3. 3

   Place lamb on top of herbs and drizzle with remaining oil (1 tablespoon). I also placed 6 peeled potatoes around lamb (not in original directions).

4. 4

   Sprinkle lamb with salt, pepper and chopped herbs.

5. 5

   Roast for 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Reduce oven to 350-degrees F. and roast until meat is done (for medium rare meat thermometer inserted into lamb reads 145-degrees F.) about 75 - 90 minutes.

7. 7

   Transfer lamb to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil for about 15 minutes before slicing. The easy way for me to slice lamb is to hold the leg bone vertically and slice the meat vertically.
