A proper Sunday roast, without the Sunday stress.
Method
- 01 Heat the oven to 180°C.
- 02 Make small cuts all over the lamb and push a little garlic into each one.
- 03 Rub the lamb with olive oil, rosemary, salt, pepper and the juice of half the lemon.
- 04 Place the onion in a roasting dish and put the lamb on top. Pour in the stock.
- 05 Roast uncovered for about 1½ hours, or until cooked to your liking. Baste once or twice.

Don't attack the lamb the second it comes out of the oven. Give it a proper rest, your gravy will thank you.
