INSTRUCTIONS
Using a very sharp knife with pointed tip, pierce lamb evenly all
over; insert slivers of garlic in slits. Set lamb on rack in a
roasting pan; coat with mustard & sprinkle with rosemary and black
pepper or red chile. Preheat oven to 425; roast lamb 20 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325 and roast 2 hours longer until meat thermometer
registers 150 for medium. To serve, remove to large platter; let stand
20 minutes to let juices settle. Meanwhile, sprinkle flour over pan
drippings; stir to mix well. Place over medium heat; stir until
bubbly; add enough water to make a smooth, medium-thick gravy. Season
gravy with salt and additional pepper or chile, if desired. Serve lamb
with side dishes of jellies and gravy. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
