1 T. toasted whole cumin
1 T. toasted whole coriander
1t. toasted whole black peppercorns

To make spice rub, grind all of the whole toasted spices and mix with paprika, cayenne and salt. If you plan to use the lamb immediately season the lamb with salt and pepper before rolling the meat in the spice mix. Otherwise roll the meat in spice mixture and season with salt and pepper before searing. Wrap 2 bones at a time in foil.
Sear the meat, place on a rack and cook in a standard oven at 325° or convection at 300°. Cook lamb to 125° and rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.
