Another successful roast 👌🏼😁
Very juicy and tender and definitely had the usual roast taste 😋
I finished it off in the oven to render fat/crisp up a bit (230 degrees for about 15 minutes).
I also made gravy from the juices:
– excess fat/oil removed (there was a lot due to lamb being naturally fatty & the butter spread used)
– placed juices into a pot on the stove and added some liquid stock & cornflour, stirring until thickened
– strained to give a smoother consistency

This is another great meal that you can prep ingredients the night before – I chopped the vegetables and made the butter the night before so that I could just throw it all in when I was ready the next morning.
