     reserve for vegetables.   
        
     DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover both bowls and   
     chill. Bring medium bowl of herb butter to room temp   
     before using.   
        
     FOR LAMB: Using small sharp knife, make 1" deep slits all   
     over lamb. Insert 3 or 4 orange peel strips into each   
     slit.   
        
     DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Enclose lamb in plastic   
     wrap and chill.   
        
     Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to   
     450øF/232øC. Heat oil in very large skillet over medium   
     high heat. Sprinkle lamb with coarse salt and pepper. Add   
     lamb to skillet; cook until brown on all sides, about 8   
     minutes. Transfer to roasting pan. Brush with 2   
     tablespoons herb butter. Roast lamb 15 min. Brush again   
     with 2 tablespoons herb butter.

     about 55 minutes. Transfer lamb to platter; reserve pan.   
     Tent lamb loosely with foil; let rest 30 minutes.   
        
     Spoon fat off any juices in roasting pan. Place pan over 2   
     burners on high heat. Add wine and broth and bring to   
     boil, whisking to scrape up browned bits. Boil until sauce   
     is reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes. Whisk in remaining   
     herb butter and grated orange peel. Season sauce to taste   
     with coarse salt and pepper.   
        
     Spoon vegetables around lamb on platter; garnish with   
     fresh herb sprigs. Serve with sauce.
