INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 1 6 to 7 pound lamb roast
  • Spices & Seasonings

    • 🧂 2 tablespoons kosher salt
    • 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon chile
    • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle
    • 2 teaspoons oregano
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Liquids

    • 2 cups chicken broth
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Vegetables

    • 🥔 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
    • 🥕 4 large carrots
    • 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced

STEPS

1

Place lamb, fat-side up, on a cutting board; score the surface 1/4-inch deep in a crosshatch pattern and poke all over with a knife about 2 inches deep on both sides.

2

Combine salt, chili powder, black pepper, ancho chile, chipotle, oregano, cinnamon, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add juices of orange, lemon, and lime, then whisk thoroughly.

3

Place lamb into the bowl with the marinade, coating it completely. Refrigerate uncovered for 24 to 48 hours, turning at least once halfway through.

4

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

5

Remove rack from roasting pan and scatter onions into the bottom. Replace the rack.

6

Toss potatoes, carrots, olive oil, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl until evenly coated. Arrange them around the lamb on the rack. Pour remaining marinade liquid and chicken stock into the bottom of the pan.

7

Place lamb in the preheated oven and immediately reduce temperature to 300°F (150°C). Roast for approximately 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium doneness.

8

Remove lamb from oven, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

9

Transfer vegetables to a serving platter, skim fat from pan jus, and serve jus alongside sliced lamb.
