Swedish term or phrase: glödbakat
Glödbakat lamm med färsklök

Primarily I'd like to know what the proper English term for "glödbakat" is and how one would translate "glödbakat lamm", but an explanation of what "glödbaka" means would also be helpful.

English translation:coal baked
Explanation:
Generally, I'd agree with the process JaneD describes -- wrap in foil and put into wood or charcoal embers. But suggest this term as more directly translating the concept. Plenty of hits (and interesting reading) to find out how this is done in modern equipment (as when a restaurant has 'glödbakat äppel' and their menu.

"Coal Baked Potatoes
An easy way to make baked potatoes is wrap them each in foil (you don't have to do this but then hopefully you don't mind the taste of ash :-)
Anyway, bury them under the coals of your campfire, turn them occasionally and they should be done in about half an hour."

Thanks. I used ember-roasted lamb, though I thought this was the best translation of the answers provided.

agree  Christine Andersen: or roasted in the embers - for some reason meat is roasted and fish or bread is baked, even if it is the same process...

  -> Thanks Christine - you are quite about "roasted", although I think "lamb baked in the embers" sounds more appetising!
agree  Sven Petersson: lamb rosted in the embers

charcoal-baked


Explanation:
Depends on whether it means using a charcoal grill or whether you're literally baking something in the embers of burned coal ("baking in the embers" sounds very strange to me; Deanne's answer is more appropriate in my opinion if you don't think mine fits).
