I followed this recipe exactly as written and what a wonderful recipe this is. The lamb was so succulents and was just falling off the bone. The family just adored the lamb, and it made for a perfect Father's Day roast dinner. I very rarely cook lamb, as I do not eat it myself, but from now on, when I do cook it, I will be using this wonderful recipe. Thanks Bea, a real winner!
