Some good ideas there. What I ended up doing with it was to rub it with a
nice big clove of well crushed garlic, slathered it with Dijon mustard, a
good dose of ground salt and pepper and laid a bunch of fresh rosemary leaves
on top. Popped it in the oven for 40 minutes at 375F. It turned out
beautifully. The meat was very tender and tasty. But next time I am going to
look for it off the bone. I had a heck of a time hacking that thing in half.
