Leg of lamb

  • 2 SPAR Freshline garlic bulbs, halved
  • 5 sprigs SPAR Freshline rosemary
 Carrots
  • 200g SPAR Freshline baby carrots

Recipe Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Brown the lamb in a pan over high heat on all sides, then transfer to a roasting dish. Rub the lamb with salt and olive oil and sprinkle the garlic cloves and rosemary around the lamb. Roast in the preheated oven, for about 1 hour 30 minutes or until done to your liking.

  4. For the mint sauce, add all ingredients to a jug and blend using a stick blender until the mint sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve your lamb thinly sliced with the carrots and mint sauce alongside.
