Roast Lamb with Sumac and Garlic

Happy Friday everyone! First week back at work and dear God it was terribly painful and slow. But thankfully I have gotten through it. 

Given I haven't been cooking for very long, the idea of cooking roast lamb, chicken, pork, or any roast for that matter can be quite daunting. I am proud to say I have gotten through them all in 2011. I have cooked all of the above with success. However, I've yet to conquer roast duck or beef. I will be sure to do it in 2012. 

This dish includes two of my favourite ingredients namely, sumac and garlic. They are a match made in heaven. Oh and ofcourse everything tends to taste better roasted. It's just so comforting.  I served the lamb with carrots with zaatar. Will post that recipe soon.
