Instructions

1. Take the lamb out of the fridge and leave it at room temperature for about 1 hour.
2. Blend the rub ingredients in a food processor until smooth: garlic cloves, dried oregano, dried mint flakes, paprika, nutmeg, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Set aside.
3. Pat the lamb dry, make a few slits on both sides, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Set the oven to broil. Put the lamb on a wire rack on the top rack, a few inches from the element, and broil 5-7 minutes per side until nicely seared. Then set the oven to 325°F.
5. Once the lamb is cool enough to handle, push the sliced garlic into the slits, coat all sides with the rub, and place it in the middle of a roasting pan with an inside rack. Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of the pan.
6. Season the potato and onion wedges with paprika, garlic powder and a little salt, and add them to the pan on either side of the lamb.
7. Cover the pan with a large foil tent that does not touch the lamb and roast on the middle rack at 325°F for about 1 hour. Remove the foil and roast 15-20 minutes more, until the lamb reaches 125°F.
8. Rest the lamb for 15-20 minutes before serving; it will rise to about 130°F. Serve on rice, garnished with parsley.
