Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) or 160°C (325°F) fan-forced.
  2. In a large bowl, rub the lamb with the garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil until evenly coated. Marinate immediately or up to 24 hours.
  3. Place the onion, carrot, water, and white wine in a lidded roasting pan. Rest the lamb on top of the vegetables and any residual rub ingredients.
Cooking
  1. Cover with the lid or foil and roast for 4 hours until the lamb is tender and can be pulled apart easily.
  2. Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes covered loosely with foil.
  3. To make the gravy, place the roasting pan on the stovetop, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and whisk in the flour. Once dissolved, add the beef stock and cook for 3-4 minutes until thick. Pass through a sieve to remove solids.
  4. Serve the lamb with rosemary sprigs, roasted potatoes, or a leafy salad as desired.
