Lamb roast crown
Crown Lamb Roast is a special dish, perfect for festive meals like Easter. This recipe not only offers a divine taste but also an impressive appearance, turning the holiday table into a true feast. In this recipe, I will explain step by step how to achieve a perfect lamb roast, with a golden crust and tender, juicy meat.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 kg lamb rack (ideally with bone for a more appealing look)
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 200 ml dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons honey (for a touch of sweetness)
- Vegetables for garnish: carrots, potatoes, onion, cut into large pieces
Instructions:
1. Preparing the meat: Start by taking the lamb rack out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. This step is essential for even cooking.
2. Marinating: In a bowl, combine the chopped garlic, olive oil, rosemary, and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste. Use this mixture to rub the lamb rack well, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
3. Preheating the oven: While the lamb is marinating, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. This is the ideal temperature for achieving a well-cooked yet juicy roast.
4. Preparing the vegetables: Arrange the chopped vegetables around the lamb rack in a baking dish. They will absorb the delicious flavors during baking and perfectly complement the lamb roast.
5. Baking: Place the lamb rack in the center of the dish, pour the white wine and honey over the meat. Cover the dish with aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes of baking to prevent the meat from drying out. After this interval, remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the meat develops a golden crust and is cooked to your liking (ideally reaching an internal temperature of 70-75 degrees Celsius).
6. Serving: Once the roast is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This step allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicier meat. Serve the Crown Lamb Roast alongside the roasted vegetables and a glass of white wine for a perfect culinary experience.
Possible variations: You can experiment with different herbs and spices, such as mint or oregano, to add a personalized touch. You can also try adding fruits like apricots or peaches to the dish to create a sweet-sour contrast.

Lamb Roast 1. We start by preparing the lamb carcass. For this, you will definitely need a knife that cuts very well. Cut off the front part of the carcass (the skin from the chest), then open the carcass by pressing with your hands. Cut the ribs from the joint with the spine, being careful not to cut too much meat. Remove the spine. This is the most difficult and meticulous part of the process. Be careful to cut alongside the vertebrae so that the meat underneath is not damaged too much. 2. Clean the meat of any remaining bone fragments and cut the smaller ribs so that only the larger ribs remain on each side (about 8-9 on each side). Score the skin on the ribs halfway, then clean the remaining bones well from meat and skin. 3. I left the meat to marinate in wine + 2 tablespoons of olive oil + 2 cloves of garlic + herbs overnight (a few hours is enough). 4. The next day, I gathered the meat around the ribs and pierced the ribs from the edge, tying them in pairs of two. 5. In a mortar, I crushed 2 cloves of garlic with salt, pepper, and rosemary, added 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and with this mixture, I rubbed the meat from the crown. 6. I tied the base of my crown with a thread to give it the desired opening. 7. I wrapped the ends of the ribs with aluminum foil and placed some herbs (rosemary, sage, and mint) over the meat, then put it in the oven. Enjoy your meal!
