  • Coat the garlic cloves with oil.
  • Place them in a small baking dish and put in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes or until they are very tender. (Note: if they are browning too much, cover them with aluminum foil).
  • Peel the garlic, crush it with a fork, and form a paste with 1/2 teaspoon of oil.
  • Make small incisions all over the meat and rub in the garlic paste. Let it marinate for a minimum of a couple of hours.
  • Place the lamb on a roasting tray over a bed of rosemary and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the potatoes with oil and arrange them around the lamb.
  • Add a little more rosemary around and sprinkle salt and pepper over the meat.
  • Roast in the oven at 230 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and roast for another 15 minutes for every 500 grams of meat.
  • The meat should reach 70 degrees when a thermometer is inserted.
  • Place the lamb on a serving platter and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • If at this point the potatoes are not tender, return them to the oven.
  • Set aside the rosemary and discard the fat from the tray in which the lamb was roasted.
  • Pour the red wine on top and bring it to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan and the bits of lamb that may have stuck.
  • Reduce the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
  • Slice the lamb and serve it with potatoes covered by the prepared red wine sauce.
