Ingredients
GARLIC ROASTIES
- 600g potatoes, any larger ones cut in half
- 1–2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
MINT AND HONEY LAMB MARINADE
- 550g butterflied lamb leg (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon GF balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon GF mustard (e.g. Dijon, wholegrain)
- 2 teaspoons runny honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
VEGETABLES
- 1 courgette
- 200g green beans
- 1/2 bag frozen peas, defrosted
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped mint leaves
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Boil a full kettle
-
Cook potatoes in pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. While potatoes are cooking, place butter and drizzle of oil in a roasting dish/oven tray and heat in oven. Drain potatoes and carefully toss on hot dish/ tray with garlic and pinch of salt. Cook for 15–20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
-
Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook lamb for 1–2 minutes each side until browned. Place on prepared tray and set aside.
-
Combine all remaining mint and honey lamb marinade ingredients together in a bowl and pour over lamb. Roast for 8–10 minutes for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Turn lamb halfway to coat in the marinade. Set aside, covered in foil to rest for about 5 minutes then slice.
-
While lamb is cooking, prepare vegetables. Dice courgette 1cm; trim ends off beans and slice 1–2cm. Place courgette, beans and peas in heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for 5–6 minutes or until bright green and tender.
-
Drain and toss with butter and mint. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Divide lamb, garlic roasties and vegetables between plates.
