METHOD

Roast lamb

  1. Cover both lamb pieces with a sheet of cling wrap and beat with a meat mallet to flatten slightly.
  2. Lay the lamb cut side up and rub in the garlic, oregano, half the thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper, distributing evenly.
  3. Roll each piece up as tightly as possible and truss with kitchen twine. Refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes until firm.
  4. Remove the lamb from the fridge at least 20-30 minutes before roasting to bring to room temperature.
  5. Preheat the oven on Moisture Plus at 180°C on Fan Plus with 2 manual bursts of steam.
  6. Preheat an induction suitable gourmet oven dish on medium-high heat, induction setting 7.
  7. Drizzle the lamb pieces with olive oil, place in the gourmet oven dish and sear on all sides until browned.
  8. Add the butter and remaining thyme to the oven dish and baste each piece thoroughly. Insert the food probe into the centre of one piece of lamb (if unequal in size, insert into the larger piece).
  9. Place the lamb in the oven on shelf position 4, set the core temperature at 49°C, releasing a burst of steam immediately and the second burst of steam at 10 minutes.
