Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 500°F (260°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare
Cut off the shank from the leg of lamb.
Season the lamb well.
Place the lamb in a large roasting pan.
Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
Roast
Roast the lamb for 30 minutes per pound.
Prepare gravy as usual while the lamb is roasting.
