Spring Lamb with Feta and Mint Sauce
Directions:
- Remove the lamb from the fridge one hour before cooking. Pat it dry with kitchen paper.
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/gas mark 6.
- Rub the lamb all over with lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
- Make small slits all over the leg of lamb and insert a garlic sliver and a sprig of rosemary into each one.
- Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting tin, fat side up. Cover the lamb with foil and roast for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and roast for another 40-50 minutes for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking.
- Remove the lamb to a board and cover in foil. Allow the meat to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
- Stir together the Cooking Cream, Feta and fresh mint.
- Slice the lamb and serve with the creamy mint sauce.
