Roast Lamb with Rosemary Recipe
This simple and quick roast lamb with rosemary recipe is ideal for using lamb chops or lamb steaks. It's quick to cook and prepare.
You can use any veg you like in this. Try for a good mixture of potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, pumpkin, onion, parsnips, sweet potato - whatever you fancy and whatever's in season.
It's important to make sure they're cut quite small and in equal sized pieces, to ensure even cooking.
Some people like their lamb 'pink' if that's the case, then add the lamb for the final 15 minutes, if not, then cook it for the full 30 minutes.
Use a glass of red wine and exercise cook's privileges over the remainder of the bottle - you can always open another to share with the meal :-)
Roast Lamb Chops with Rosemary
1lb (500g) small new potatoes
8 oz (350g) baby carrots
1lb (500g) mixture of other vegetables - see above
2 tbspn oil
2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 glass red wine
1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
4 lamb chops or 4 small steaks
Heat your oven to 220C, 425F or Gas Mark 7 before you start.
Put the potatoes, carrots and other veg into a roasting tin.
Strip the leaves from the rosemary add them to the oil - give it a good stir then pour over the vegetables - turn them to coat thoroughly.
If you want your lamb well done, tuck them into the veg now.
Roast for about 30 minutes, turning the lamb and stirring the veg halfway through.
If you want your lamb pinker, then add the chops at the halfway stage.
Once cooked, remove from the roasting tin and keep warm.
Put your roasting tin onto the oven top.
Add the wine to the juices and stir in the redcurrant jelly.
Boil rapidly to reduce.
Serve the lamb and vegetables with the gravy separately.
You could add some plain boiled green veg to this - maybe some broccoli, green beans or similar to this roast lamb with rosemary recipe.
