Instructions

- Step 4: Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast the lamb for 4 to 5 hours, basting every hour with the pan juices, until the meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone.
- Step 5: Remove the foil and roast uncovered for an additional 20 minutes to brown the exterior.
- Step 6: Let the lamb rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with the pan juices spooned over the top.
