Who doesn’t love a big roast eh? Well, vegetarians I guess, and people with eating disorders, those in a coma etc… well, lots of people. But lots more people love a roast, especially in winter!
So here is a simple recipe for Roast Lamb with Vegetables that is certain to fill your tum. All the ingredients will be seasoned in various themes of yummy goodness but I’ve even made that easy too. Just follow the below instructions below and eat hearty!
Ingredients:
- 1.5kg roasting lamb
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large carrot
- Frozen peas
- Olive oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Minced garlic
- Rosemary
- Mild Paprika
- Honey
- Balsamic Vinegar
Preparation:
- Peel & quarter the potatoes and the onion
- Peel the large carrot and cut into sticks
- Take a mixing bowl and fill the bottom with a mixture of olive oil, salt and pepper
- Put the oven on to preheat to 180 degrees
Seasoning:
- One by one take each of the ingredients (the lamb, potatoes, carrots & onion) and roll them around in the mixture of oil, salt and pepper. Sit each to one side.
- Mix up some minced garlic and rosemary and rub generously all over the lamb.
- Roll potatoes in mild paprika
- Roll carrots in honey and place in fridge
- Pour balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and put onions in to soak. Place in fridge.
Method:
- Place lamb in roasting tray that allows circulation of heat all around the lamb. Set timer for 90 minutes.
- At the 45 minute mark put the potatoes on an oven tray and place in oven
- At the 60 minute mark put the carrots on a separate tray and place in oven (otherwise all the honey that slides off will contaminate your potatoes and obscure the paprika seasoning)
- At the 70 minute mark place the onion in next to the potatoes.
- At the 80 minute mark put some peas on to boil
Serving
- Cut the lamb into nice slices or chunks (depending on your culinary audience) using an electric knife and place on plate.

- You can provide gravy if you like, though with all the seasoning it shouldn’t be necessary
- Enjoy!
