Notes
This recipe will work for boneless lamb loins and bone-in lamb loins. For bone in rub garlic and herbs on the outside. Bone- in loins will take more time to reach doneness temperature.
Very important to let lamb come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Always let the meat rest on cutting board for at least 15 minutes before cutting slices.
Optional herbs;
- fresh thyme
- fresh sage
