Lamb Roast
Lamb Roast
Lamb is not nearly as commonly served as it used to be — perhaps because some people have been turned off by overcooked lamb — but it can be a revelation when properly cooked, so savory and delicious. The temperature probe makes getting it right easy.
BEFORE YOU START: It’s important to have the boneless leg of lamb tied prior to roasting — this is something that can be done by your butcher.
