Let’s embark on the culinary journey step by step:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
-
Prepare Lamb: Peel 3 cloves of garlic and slice them. Make slits all over the lamb meat and insert the garlic slices and small sprigs of rosemary. Season generously with salt and pepper.
-
SautΓ© Shallots: In a large flameproof casserole or roasting pan, heat the olive oil. Add the shallots and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown.
-
Add Vegetables: Introduce the potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and remaining unpeeled cloves of garlic into the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the flavorful oil. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Layer Lamb: Place the seasoned lamb on top of the bed of vegetables in the pan. Pour half of the red wine over the lamb, ensuring it’s well-distributed.
-
Bake Covered: Cover the pan securely and let it bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, remembering to baste occasionally with the delicious pan juices.
-
Glaze Time: Mix the honey and soy sauce thoroughly. After the first hour of cooking, pour this delightful mixture over the lamb, making sure to baste it generously.
-
Uncover and Bake: Remove the cover and continue baking for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the lamb is perfectly cooked, and the vegetables are tender, remembering to baste the meat and veggies occasionally to lock in those delectable flavors.
-
Rest and Carve: Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the pan. Allow them to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving the lamb. Keep the vegetables warm for serving.
-
Prepare Gravy: Place the cooking pan on the stove and stir in the flour. Cook for about 1 minute. Blend in the lamb stock and remaining wine. Bring the mixture to a boil and adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
