Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds lamb loin roast
- 2 bulbs roasted garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil only if roasting in oven
- 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Let the roast come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill or oven to 350°F.
- Rub the roasted garlic all around the inside of the lamb roast. See the notes below for instructions on roasting garlic.
- Sprinkle the inside with herbs. Season the inside with salt and pepper.
- Roll up tightly. Season the outside with salt and pepper.
- Truss with kitchen string. (see the article above.)
- Brown the roast on all sides. If cooking inside, add a bit of olive oil to the pan.
- Once browned move the roast to the side of the grill without a burner on. (indirect grill)
- If roasting in the oven, once roast is browned, place roast in a large roasting pan on a roasting rack in oven to finish (or use cast iron or oven safe pan to sear).
- Cook until temperature is about 135°F for medium rare.

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.
- It's very important to let the lamb come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Always let the meat rest on a cutting board for at least 15 minutes before cutting slices.
- Optional herbs;
- Garnish with rosemary and thyme sprigs.
- To Roast Garlic
- Cut the top off of an entire garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Sprinkle it with salt and olive oil. Wrap the head of garlic in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven or the grill for about 45 minutes until the garlic is very soft.
- fresh thyme
- fresh sage
