Method

Carve the lamb and serve with the gravy, potatoes, and onions.

Make gravy by whisking fat, flour, 450ml stock, wine, and seasonings over heat until thick.

Brown the potatoes and onions at 220°C for 25 minutes while resting the lamb.

Reduce oven to 160°C and cook for 4 hours until tender.

Place vegetables and 570ml stock in the tin with the lamb on top and cover with foil.

Boil onions for 10 minutes, add potatoes for 4 minutes, then drain.

Roast the lamb for 20 minutes, turn it over, and roast for 25 more minutes until brown.

Insert sliced garlic into small holes cut through the lamb skin.

Preheat the oven to 220°C.
