Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Lemon Recipe
This roast lamb with rosemary and lemon comes courtesy of my mother-in-law. It is a variation of the traditional roast lamb she prepares on special occasions. Most people I know use cloves in roast lamb, so does my mother-in-law. We brainstormed and found a suitable replacement for cloves, rosemary, and lemon.
This easy roast lamb with rosemary and lemon recipe is the ideal Christmas, or any other special occasion, companion. It is the ideal recipe for days where you have time, especially during December breaks. You have plenty of time to prepare the side dishes while the lamb is roasting in the oven.
With its woody flavour, rosemary is the perfect companion for your favourite lamb dish. Rosemary is a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which are thought to help boost the immune system and improve blood circulation. Rosemary is considered a cognitive stimulant and can help improve memory performance and quality. Besides these benefits, rosemary is also good for hair growth.
As for side dishes to accompany this roast lamb with rosemary and lemon recipe, we found that whole roasted carrots, cauliflower with roasted tomatoes, and roasted Mediterranean vegetables work best.
In fact, this recipe is a good reason to stay and eat healthy over the festive periods. We hope you enjoy our roasted lamb with rosemary and lemon recipe. If you have tried this recipe, please let us know what you think.
Thanks and happy festive cooking.

You cannot go wrong with this roast lamb with rosemary recipe. The roasting bag is a great idea and I will use the same steps with another roast, even try it out with roast turkey. 5.00Respond to Comments

I love this roast lamb with rosemary recipe. My son is allergic to cloves and it is hard to find a roast lamb recipe without cloves. This is a great substitute and I will definitely give it a try this Christmast. Happy festive seasons 2021. 5.00Respond to Comments
