It is nearly impossible to get wrong.
Put it in a greased baking tray and Bake it in a pre-warmed oven at 160 degrees c for a half hour for every pound of meat. Add your baked vegetables about an hour before the meat is cooked. Remove the meat at the req'd time, cover it with foil and let it rest while you prepare gravy and some green vegetables. Carve meat and serve on warmed plates.
Serve with mint sauce and gravy.
You can get all fussy with herbs... but it really isn't necessary with this meal... smothered in gravy and mint sauce.
We have this just about every Sunday. I have an oven with a temperature probe .. I jamb that probe into the meat and set the temperature to sound the alarm at 79 degrees celcius and that's it.... perfectly cooked lamb every time. I used to get fussy with herbs etc.. but really the meal doesnt suffer without it.. it takes 2 minutes to prepare and I can spend 2 hours drinking red wine while it cooks. I dont have to touch it again until I remove it from the oven. You can give food too much attention when really it just cooks perfectly well in its own juices.
