Keeping Roasting Simple

Why: A roast lamb is the focus of many festivals, including our Easter, and if you want to celebrate, there’s no better dish to share.

Best for: Virtually every single piece of lamb can be roasted, but leg of lamb is the best.

Prep: Season the lamb and lightly oil or squeeze over lemon juice. Pre-frying the joint not only shortens the roasting time, but also renders the outside layer of fat. This stage can be done in advance ready for roasting as required.

Cook: At 200°C/400°F/gas 6, always keeping your roast lamb a bit pink in the centre.
