To prepare the rosemary butter; in a small bowl mix all the ingredients together.
Place the joint on a chopping board, make several slits over the surface and season. Spread with the rosemary butter. Put the roasted vegetables in a medium non-stick roasting tin, add the oil and fresh thyme. Position the lamb on top of the vegetables and roast for 35-40 minutes (for medium) on the top shelf of the oven.
Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water for 10-15 minutes and toss in a knob of any remaining herb butter.
Remove the lamb from the oven, transfer to a warm plate, cover with foil and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes. Carve and serve with the gravy, roasted vegetables and potatoes.
