Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the lamb dry, pierce the surface, push in sliced garlic, and rub with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
2
Roast
Set lamb on the quartered onion and roast at 400°F for 20 minutes until the surface browns and fat begins to render.
3
Roast
Lower oven to 325°F and roast 45 to 60 minutes until an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part reads 135°F for medium-rare.
4
Deglaze
Set the pan over medium heat, pour in chicken stock and lemon juice, and scrape browned bits loose for 3 minutes until reduced.
5
Rest
Tent the lamb loosely with foil and rest 20 minutes so juices redistribute.
6
Plate
Carve the lamb across the grain into slices, arrange on a warm plate, and spoon strained pan jus over the top.
