Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

  3. In a bowl, mix cumin, salt, and sugar. Rub this mixture all over the lamb thoroughly.
  4. Let the lamb rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
  2. After 3 hours, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Add grapes to the roasting pan around the lamb.
  4. Let everything roast together for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Check the lamb’s internal temperature, aiming for around 145°F (63°C). Then, remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil to rest.

Notes

For an enhanced flavor, experiment with adding garlic or rosemary to the seasoning mix. Fresh herbs like parsley or mint can elevate the dish's presentation and flavor.
