Preparation

Step 1
To make the lamb, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the cracked peppercorns, celery seed and salt and rub over the outside of the roast. Bake, using recipe for Basic Crown Roast of Lamb (see recipe).
Step 2
To make the vegetables, toss the celery roots, carrots and potatoes with the olive oil, salt and pepper in a roasting pan. When the lamb has cooked for 15 minutes, place the roasting pan with vegetables in oven. Roast for 45 minutes, tossing the vegetables from time to time.
Step 3
Remove roast and vegetables from oven. Let roast rest while keeping vegetables warm, then turn roast over, place on a platter and fill the cavity with the vegetables. Place into a serving dish any vegetables that don't fit. Serve immediately.
