About

There’s very little preparation required for this dish yet the flavours are sensational. If you want to turn it into a showstopper, serve the lamb on a large platter and anoint it with pomegranate seeds, charred lemon halves, and coriander leaves. Smile sweetly as your guests gasp with admiration and remember, never ever tell them just how easy it is!
