Remove roaster from oven, leaving oven on. Place roaster on top of stove, slowly pour wine over lamb, cover, and bring liquid to a boil. 5. Return roaster, covered, to oven. Roast 4 to 5 additional hours until lamb is fork tender, but not falling off bone. (Timing will vary according to size and age of lamb and type of roasting pan used,). 6. Check on lamb, reducing oven temps if lamb begins to burn or liquid begins to evaporate too much. When lamb is fork tender, bury potatoes and tomatoes in liquid.
