    Preparation Steps

    1

    Rinse the lamb and pat it dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

    2

    In a bowl, combine the ajvar, olive oil, crushed garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, and lemon juice. Spread this mixture evenly over the lamb.

    3

    Place the lamb in a baking dish and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

    4

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the lamb, covered with foil, for 90 minutes, or until it is tender.

    5

    Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the lamb is nicely browned. Baste occasionally with the pan juices to keep it moist.

    6

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Accompany with steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes.
