Cooking the lamb and veggies in the same tray really does make all the ingredients taste so much better as all the flavours muddle together. Squeeze the roasted lemon over the lamb for a tangy twist.

Ingredients

Baby potatoes

500 g, chat variety

Fresh oregano

2 cup(s), (1 bunch)

Lemon(s)

1 medium

Lamb leg roast, raw

800 g, (Buy 1kg) fat trimmed

Olive oil

1 tbs

Zucchini

  2. Meanwhile, remove leaves from half the oregano sprigs. Discard stems and finely chop leaves. Finely grate rind from lemon, then cut lemon into 8 pieces. Combine chopped oregano, rind and 1½ tsp sea salt in a small bowl. Season with pepper.
