Roast Lamb with Minty Roast Potatoes
PREP TIME: 20 MINUTES
COOKING TIME: 1 HOUR, 30 MINS
SERVES: 6-8
INGREDIENTS
2.4kg leg of lamb, removed from fridge 1 hour before cooking
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 anchovies, cut into 1cm pieces
2 small sprigs rosemary
spray olive oil
salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
Minty roast potatoes
1.5kg Spud Lite potatoes, halved and quartered
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dried mint
8 cloves garlic, skins on
Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh mint
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Place roast pan for potatoes on bottom shelf of oven to preheat.
2. Parboil potatoes for 10 minutes, until outsides are just tender. Drain, return to saucepan and add olive oil, mint, garlic cloves, salt and pepper, tossing gently to coat. Set aside until required.
3. Place lamb on a chopping board lengthways, use a sharp knife to cut small incisions across the top of the leg of lamb. Push a slice of garlic, a piece of anchovy and a small sprig of rosemary into each incision. Spray the outside of the lamb with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Place lamb directly on the hot middle shelf of the preheated oven and add potatoes to the hot pan under the lamb and cook for 1 hour 20 minutes or until lamb is cooked to your liking. Turn potatoes halfway through cooking. Remove lamb from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes under loose foil before slicing. Increase oven temperature to 220°C (200°C fan-forced) to crisp up potatoes for 10 minutes, whilst lamb is resting.
