Garlic and Rosemary Lamb Roast
This was an absolute stand-out at our Xmas dinner. The difference here is that there is a stock bath that the roast sits above. This keeps the meat wonderfully moist and the aromas nicely permeate the flesh. The cooking time will produce quite a rare meat (how we like it) so you may prefer to cook for longer. From my favourite Greek & Middle Eastern book. (Australian measurements used.)
