How to make a Bloody Mary
The Meat and Livestock Association recommends roasting lamb in a 200°C oven for 20-25 minutes for rare, 30-35 minutes for medium and 40-45 minutes for a well-done rack.
Test to see if roast is done to your liking by squeezing with tongs: rare feels soft, medium has a little resistance and well done feels quite firm. Remove lamb from roasting pan and cover loosely with foil. Allow to rest so juices settle before carving (about 10 minutes).
To keep roast juicy, it's best not to insert a skewer when testing it, but to practice your touch with the tongs. It won't take long before you can 'feel' just how cooked your meat is.
