I love a roast dinner with all the trimmings and roast lamb is a particular favorite of mine. Serve this baby with roasted root veggies, yorkshire pud, roast potatoes, mint sauce and pan juice gravy....Heaven on a plate!

Coat the lamb all over with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, seasoning well with the salt and pepper. Put the rosemary springs on top of roast inserting a few small picked leaves here and there into the holes with the garlic.
Place roast on the rack and bake in the preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Remove roast and tent with tin foil letting it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
