This dish is a Passover and Rosh Hashanah favorite in many Sephardic households, corresponding to the time when the largest supply of lamb is available.

 

The younger the animal, the more tender the meat and delicate the flavor. When choosing lamb, look for meat that is a lighter red than beef with a bright, pink color; a fine-grained texture; bright white fat; and soft pinkish bones. A darker color indicates a more mature animal. A whole shoulder of lamb weighs 4–6 pounds; a boned shoulder weighs about 30 percent less, 3–4 pounds. Since bone conducts heat, the cooking time for boned lamb is actually longer.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 (4- to 6-pound) shoulder of lamb, bone in

  • 4–8 cloves garlic, slivered

  • about 3 tablespoons Bartenura Olive Oil or vegetable oil

Directions

Prepare the Lamb

1.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Cut slits in the surface of the lamb and insert a garlic sliver into each slit. Rub with the oil, salt, and pepper.

3.

Place in a shallow roasting pan. Roast, basting occasionally, until the exterior is browned and the interior is slightly pink, about 15 minutes per pound or until a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees Fahrenheit for rare (about 60 to 75 minutes) or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, about 75 to 90 minutes.

4.

Let the roast stand 10 minutes before carving.

Variation:

Greek Roast Lamb with Lemon-Egg Crust: Blend together 12 lightly beaten eggs, 1/2 to 3/4 cup lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste; pour over the roasted lamb; and place under the broiler until lightly browned but not rubbery, about 10 minutes.
