Main

Roast lamb is one of my favourite things to eat and this version puts a great spin on it. Simple, but packed full of flavour I like to serve this as the centrepiece of family dinners where everyone can just take as much as they want. It goes great with flatbreads and other filling - ideal for the summer. I got this recipe off of one my bosses when I worked in a fish and chip shop.
