Method

Preparation of Lamb Saddle

1

Prepare the Herb Crust

In a bowl, mix together minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a paste.

Crust the Lamb

Rub the herb paste all over the lamb saddle, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3

Roast the Lamb

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.
