ROAST

METHOD

1.In a Breville blender or food processor, pulse together garlic, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, rosemary, oregano, parsley and honey. Keep blending while you drizzle in olive oil. Place the lamb onto a large glass dish and pour the marinade over the lamb. Be sure to completely coat the lamb. Cover with plastic wrap and marinade at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

2.Place the lamb on the Breville grill rack in the Breville baking pan to catch the drippings.

3.Set the wire rack in the bottom rack height position and turn the function dial until the indicator on the LCD screen points to the ROAST function. Set the temperature to 220˚C/425˚F and set the timer for 20 minutes. Press START/ CANCEL button to activate.

4.After 20 minutes turn the temperature down to 170˚C/340˚F and roast for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (not near the bone) registers your preferred doneness.

5.Remove the roast and tent with foil. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.

NOTE

To reach the desired doneness of a roast, it is best to remove the roast from the BREVILLE SMART OVEN™ when the internal temperature

is 6˚C/10˚F below the desired temperature reading. The roast will continue cooking. The term is called “carry-over cooking”. The internal temperature will continue to rise and cook the interior part of the meat. It is also extremely important to allow the roast to rest at least 20 minutes prior to carving. This allows the roast to relax and hold in its juices.
