- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Tips and Tricks
Make sure the lamb is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Use a sharp knife for easier slicing. Let the lamb rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and prevent it from drying out.Nutrition
