Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute margarine for butter in this roast lamb recipe?
Yes, you can substitute margarine with an equal amount of unsalted butter for a richer flavor. Just keep in mind that it might slightly alter the taste.

To store leftovers, let the lamb cool completely and then place it in an airtight container. You can refrigerate it for up to 3-4 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

If your lamb roast is cooking faster than expected, lower the oven temperature slightly and cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Check the internal temperature; it should be around 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
