Mint, ginger, garlic and honey-glazed roast lamb

Ingredients

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 red chillies, seeded and finely chopped
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 60ml (¼ cup) honey
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh mint, chopped
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 1,2kg deboned lamb loin
  • 20 baby potatoes, halved
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1

Mix together the garlic, chilli, ginger, honey, mint and 45ml (3 tbsp) of the olive oil.

2

Place the lamb in a shallow dish and pour the marinade mixture over it. Toss to coat well, cover and marinate for about 30 minutes.

3

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pour the remaining oil into a roasting pan with the potatoes. Season and toss to coat well.

4

Reserve the marinade. Place the lamb on a wire rack above the potatoes and roast until the lamb is cooked and the potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes.

5

Remove the lamb from the oven and keep warm. Grill the potatoes in the oven until crispy and golden.

6

Heat the marinade over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

7

Serve the lamb with the potatoes and the marinade.

Notes

To drink: La Bri Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, smooth, medium-bodied and youthful.
