  • 1 tsp
  • 1 tsp
  • 1 tsp
  • 0 1/2 tsp
  • 4 lb
  • 1 tbsp chopped
  • 2 tsp
  • 1 cup

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 450°F.
  2. Combine coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub over surface of lamb.
  3. Place lamb in oven, and roast 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F, and bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 130°F when inserted into center of lamb, about 35 minutes more.
  4. Transfer to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes. Optional (add an additional 6.5g NC per serving if using): while lamb is standing, bring 1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice to a boil in a small saucepan, and cook until reduced by half.
