Roast Lamb
Roasting lamb is just as easy, if not easier, than roasting a chicken. Seriously, all you need to do is rub lamb shoulder with a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil and throw it in the oven for an hour or so. Bonus points if you roast the meat on top of a bed of potatoes. (And why wouldn't you?)
In case you're wondering, the twine isn't super-necessary, but it does keep the meat looking really pretty. Just do it. It's a simple step that takes 10 seconds, and it'll make you look like a superstar during your dinner party or Easter dinner.
What should you serve with this? Since you already have your meat and carbs covered, all you really need is a veggie side. We suggest roasted asparagus or honey-glazed carrots.
