Made this receipe twice once as a first home cooked meal for my fiance, it was Outstanding !! Very easy to prepare, quick, beutiful presentation and an outstanding flavor. Only made one variation added chopped pecans, gave it a fabulous texture and taste. Great for special ocassions, served with steamed asparagus and hollandaise sauce. Will definitly make again. Note: ovens vary if you like rare meat do not cook for suggested time, I only cooked for 25 to 30 mins @ 425' and it was perfect med-rare. Enjoy !!

This was a nice and unique way to enjoy lamb. The recipe was easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. I added some red wine with water to the bottom of the pan to add to the juices. I didn't include the parsley, nor did I put the potatoes in with the lamb. Enjoy!
