If you are lamb loves like we are then you will love this one! I loved the rosemary and how the flavors went so well together. I look forward to making this for company coming in a few weeks!

We make this ALL the time! The only difference for us is that we use a meat thermometer and roast to an internal temperature of 175F before removing it from oven to rest.
