FAQ:

How do I know when the lamb is cooked to my liking?
The best way to check is by using a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for 135°F (57°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, press the meat with your finger—medium-rare lamb will feel firm but still slightly springy.

Can I cook this in a pan instead of roasting it in the oven?
Yes, you can sear the lamb in a hot pan first and then finish cooking it in the oven at a lower temperature (around 350°F or 175°C) to get an even cook.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?
While lamb is best served freshly roasted, you can prepare the herb marinade a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Marinate the lamb overnight for even more flavor.
