GETTING READY

MAKING
5) Slather the rest of the mixture, by pressing in, onto the lamb. Place it on a roasting pan and roast for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Baste the lamb several times with the pan liquid. If you want medium-done meat, roast for 30 more minutes.
6) Remove the lamb onto a heated platter. Sprinkle some green onion mixture on top. Keep warm.
7) Strain the liquid from the roasting into a 4-cup measurer. Let stand for 5 minutes. Skim the fat surface off. Add the liquid back into the roasting pan and let it boil.
8) Mix flour in 1/2 cup cold water and make a smooth paste. Add in to the mixture and stir till the latter starts to bubble and thicken.
9) Add in 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix well.
