I made this for our New Year's Day dinner, and it was simply GREAT! It took all the gamey flavor out of the lamb (which I hate) and left the luscious roast in tact. I highly recommend this recipe! It just doesn't get better than this.

This was great, we had this for our Easter dinner and it was well received. Wonderful flavours and excellent instructions. Lamb was cooked to perfection. Thanks NurseDi.

We LOVED this! The flavors blend so well together. It's not too "mustardy" as it could seem to be. It's so simple, yet you could easily serve this for a special dinner. I just cut the oil in half, that was my only change. I believe I have found my new favorite lamb recipe! Thanx for posting it.
