You can use water at first and add flavor later in the roast. You can baste or rotate the roast. Basting maintains a better presentation of the herb crust. Rotating improves flavor and moisture. You can always finish with fresh herbs. Cook to 145F minimum temperature. Note, you can remove the meat at 5 degrees early as the temperature will rise during the rest. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/meat-preparation/focus-on-lambfrom-farm-to-table/CT_Index.
