  • Pop the tray in the oven. Now you can roast it in the oven two ways - the expert of the easy method: 
    - If you have a meat thermometer: roast until the meat temperature reaches 55°C 
    - Without a thermometer: depending on the weight of your lamb, cook 15 minutes per 500g of meat. 

    Every 15 minutes, drizzle the meat with its own juice, and add more water if it looks a little.

    When cooked, take it out of the oven, cover and let the meat for 15 minutes before carving.
