💬 Reader prompt: Are you team “extra rosemary” or team “keep it classic”?

I won’t lie I have never had lamb, but my entire family has. They all told me that they didn’t like it or weren’t going to try it. I got this recipe from the owner himself, and we tried it this last Sunday for family dinner.

Everyone loved it! Even those who claimed they didn’t like it. Typically you plan for a quarter pound of meat per person and we got a 5 pound roast and it was all gone, pretty sure everyone ate a half pound! Don’t judge, it was just that good!
