Ingredients:
- Lean leg lamb or crown roast joint
- Fresh mint, parsley, thyme and Rosemary
- Mint jelly
- For the Vegetables:
- Selection of seasonal spring vegetables such as
asparagus, peas, spring onions
- Butter
- Fresh mint
Method:
Weigh the joint and calculate the cooking time. Make
several deep and wide slits into the joint between the bones and stuff with a large
handful of mint, parsley, thyme and rosemary, chopped. Place onto a rack in
a roasting tin and open roast in a preheated oven for the calculated cooking
time. 10 minutes before the end of cooking remove the joint and brush with 30ml
(2tbsp) mint jelly and return to the oven.
Lightly steam a selection of seasonal spring vegetables such as asparagus,
peas and spring onions. Mix together 25g (1oz) butter softened with 15ml
(1tbsp) fresh mint, chopped. Once the vegetables are cooked transfer to a
hot serving dish and melt over the mint butter.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve the lamb with the minty spring vegetables and
boiled new potatoes.
