Part 4/10:
Before the lamb is placed in the oven, it is seared in a hot pan to develop a rich, golden crust. This initial browning process contributes to a deeply flavored roast, enhancing the overall taste of the dish. The lamb is then roasted for 45 to 55 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
After roasting, resting the lamb is imperative—this ensures that juices are retained, contributing to moist and tender slices when served. While the meat rests, a light and refreshing yogurt dressing is prepared as a complementary side.
Creating a Cucumber Salad
For the salad, cucumbers are halved and cored, offering a crisp and colorful contrast. They are simply dressed with yogurt, mint, salt, pepper, and a splash of pomegranate molasses for sweetness, perfectly balancing the richness of the lamb.
