Preparation steps

1.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (approximately 320°F).

2.

Rinse the lamb, pat dry and truss the lamb if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a roasting pan. Peel the garlic and halve horizontally. Add the garlic and 2-3 rosemary sprigs to the roasting pan to cook until fragrant. Pour in a small amount of water. Add the lamb and roast in the oven until cooked, about 2 1/2-3 hours. 

3.

Remove the leaves from 2 sprigs of rosemary and finely chop. In a bowl, blend the remaining oil with the lemon juice, rosemary and honey. During the final 60 minutes of the lamb's cooking time, baste with the rosemary-honey mixture. If necessary, add more water to the roasting pan.

4.

Serve the lamb on top of the remaining rosemary sprigs.
