Reduce the heat to 350ºF and continue to slow-roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 135ºF. Remove from the oven and set the lamb on a carving board, reserving the pan juices. Allow the lamb to sit for about 10 to 15 minutes before serving. The roast will be a perfect medium rare.

Place the pan on the stove over medium heat, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Slice the lamb into individual slices. Serve with the couscous and the pan sauce. Garnish with parsley.
