"Juicy lamb roast with a mixture of fresh vegies. Also can use fresh asparagus spears. Add them with the zucchini. NOTE: The carrots, leeks and zukes called for are the whole BABY type. You can use those machine-made "baby" carrots, but the presentation is nicer if you use whole baby carrots and leave some of the stem on them. If your potatoes are very small, leave them whole. This produces a rare roast. Cook longer if you prefer it more done"
