Directions
Trim fat from lamb; cut four evenly spaced 1 inch deep slits in the surface.

Place meat on the rack of a roasting pan.

Roast in 325℉ (160℃) oven for 1½ to 1 ¾ hours or until the thermometer registers 150 degrees F (medium).
For sauce, reserve pan juices; skim fat.
Add water, if neccesary, to measure 2/3rds cup liquid total.
In a medium saucepan stir together yogurt, cornstarch and bouillion granules.
Stir in juice mixture.
Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
Cook and serve with sliced meat.
