I give this lamb pot roast recipe a 5 and my DH a measly 3, so I have to put my review at a 4. I loved the texture of the finished roast...nice and tender, yet not the soft, mushy meat that sometimes happens with a pot roast. However, my DH thought it should have been more tender...so go figure. We both enjoyed the accompanying vegetables, especially the parsnips which paired nicely with the lamb, as well as the rich, rich gravy full of garlic and melted onions. I highly recommend this dish for most people who enjoy a lamb roast with lots of flavor, and who have the time to prepare it, since the basting does require your attention. -
This was a wonderful way to prepare lamb for people like my husband who wasn't sure if he'd like it or not. The glaze combined with the garlic and rosemary were a divine taste not to mention the wonderful roasting aroma! The wine "gravy" was to- die-for and the roasted veggies were just right. The only problem I had was the amount indicated for the number of servings. I'm not used to preparing lamb...it was my first, so I bought a 3 and 1/2 lb leg of lamb and only fed about 5 people off of it (with no leftovers!). Next time, I'll get a larger roast. Thanks for sharing, Sue. It was a great Easter recipe.
