Well as I said on the youtube channel, I cooked this for New Years Eve. It was delicious tender and just great. I cooked it with hassle back potatoes and honey glazed carrots. The lamb though was hands down the star of the show. Thank you so much for posting it when you did, I was looking for recipes for the lamb when I seen your video.
My only regret is I never took any pictures to add to this comment, and my FB page.
So glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to write a nice comment! 😊
