2 tbsp olive oil

450 g butternut pumpkin

400 g can chickpeas, drained

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan-forced). Line a large roasting dish with baking paper.
  2. In a small bowl, place half the oil, chopped coriander, garlic and tandoori paste. Season and stir to combine.

  5. Remove foil, spoon juices over lamb and add pumpkin to dish. Cook for a further 30-40 minutes, or until lamb is cooked to your liking and vegetables are tender.
  6. Remove lamb from dish and set aside covered with foil for 15 minutes to rest.
  7. Place cooked onions and pumpkin, chickpeas, baby spinach and green beans in a large bowl. Drizzle with remaining oil, season and toss to coat.
  8. Shred or slice lamb and serve with pumpkin salad, rice, yoghurt, lime wedges, extra coriander and any remaining pan juices.

Easy Swap

Switch to a Lamb Rack Roast and just cook for 20-30mins (add 5 to 10 minutes if you like your meat well done). Make sure you rest the lamb to maximise tenderness and lock in the juices.

Top Tips

  • Ask your butcher to bone out and truss the lamb leg for you.
