Roast Lamb With Lemon and Herbs image

Moist and flavorful! Vary the fresh herbs to your liking. This is good when you add some sliced potatoes, carrots, and a little extra olive oil for the last hour of roasting. Serve with a green salad, and you've got your entire meal ready! Even better than the lamb itself, in my opinion, is gnawing on the bone afterward...heh heh.
