at Lara’s…Roast Lamb with a bite…
Lamb naturally contains many essential nutrients – protein, vitamin B12, niacin, zinc, and selenium and a good source of iron and riboflavin – making it an easy fit for healthy diets.
What you need:
800 gms of Lamb – I’ve used lamb round here, but feel free to substitute with your favourite cut
2-3 sprigs of fresh Rosemary
2 -3 cloves of fresh garlic
Dried Basil
Dried Mint
Chilli flakes
Olive oil
Salt
2 potatoes
2 carrots
What to do:
1…slice or dice garlic (depending on your preference) – set aside in a small bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil
2…pluck rosemary leaves off stem – set aside with the olive oil and garlic
3…trim off excess fat and silverskin from the lamb, and make a few *pockets* in the lamb
4…sprinkle salt, mint, basil and chilli flakes on the bottom side of the lamb
5…turn lamb over (to the top side), and sprinkle mint and basil on it
6...spread the garlic, rosemary and olive oil inside the *pockets* and all over the lamb
7…if you like, you can also salt and sprinkle some chilli flakes inside the *pockets* too
8…cling-film the dish and let marinate for at least two hours
*** just before you are ready to put the roast in the oven ***
1…Peel carrots and potatoes, and cut to desired shape/size
2…sprinkle olive oil oil, salt, chilli flakes and rosemary onto it and mix
3…add to the dish, letting it sit below the rack of lamb
***
1…cover the dish with foil and roast at 180 C for 45 minutes
2…remove foil and set oven to grill at 160 C for 20 minutes
3…remove lamb from oven and sprinkle with salt – let the lamb rest covered in foil for 10 minutes
4…slice and serve with vegetables
Serves: 4
Tips…
…coating the meat with a bit of oil stops your oven from *smoking*
…I love using fresh herbs, but in this recipe I used a couple of dried herbs as I only wanted it to accompany the main flavours – the fresh rosemary and garlic
*Eat, drink & be merry*
