Festival Lamb, Spiced Roast Potatoes, Peas and Mint Raita
Introduction
This is a dish that cannot fail to impress your guests – it looks wonderful brought to the table, but more importantly, the spicing on the lamb against the crisp potatoes and peas is completely moreish. If you’re cooking for fewer than 6, you could definitely buy a half leg of lamb and halve the marinade quantities.
