Preparation
Remove and retain the leaves from the flat-leaf parsley. Remove and retain the leaves from the mint. Finely chop the garlic cloves.
Method
- 1 To make the gremolata, finely chop the parsley and mint, then mix with the garlic, lemon rind and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season. Put half the mixture in a bowl, cover and chill. Rub the rest over the lamb, cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
- 2 Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Put the lamb in a roasting tin and cover loosely with foil. Roast for 1 hour 40 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- 3 Transfer the lamb to a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
- 4 Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and add the breadcrumbs. Fry until golden, then remove from the heat and stir in the reserved gremolata.
- 5 Put the roasting tin over a medium heat on the hob. Add the wine, stirring to scrape up any sediment from the bottom, and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the stock and boil until reduced by half.
- 6 Carve the lamb, scatter over the gremolata and serve with the sauce and vegetables.

Cooked this last night and it was amazing! I changed it a little though by adding about 10 garlic cloves and the juice of a lemon and cooked it for longer at 160 degrees for 4 hours. Meat fell off the bone! Cooked it with basmati rice and poured the finished lamb stock and juices over the rice. Wow!

Yummy flavours - however the suggested time in the oven is too long so lamb was a little over cooked after I tested it with foil on top for about 20 mins. Should have been 70 mins in the oven, 20 mins resting I'd say.
