Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the ginger, red chilli, garlic, cumin, and soft brown sugar to make a paste.
  3. Rub the paste all over the leg of lamb and place it in a roasting pan.
  4. Arrange the orange wedges around the lamb in the roasting pan.
  5. Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until it's cooked to your liking. Baste the lamb occasionally with the juices in the pan.
  6. While the lamb is roasting, prepare the fragrant roasted vegetables. In a large bowl, mix together the new potatoes, aubergines, swede, and leek.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, ginger, cumin, and fresh coriander. Pour the mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.
  8. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until they're tender and golden brown.
  9. While the lamb and vegetables are roasting, prepare the herby relish. In a food processor, combine the coriander, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and red chilli. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and well combined.
  10. When the lamb is done, transfer it to a serving platter and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
  11. Serve the lamb with the fragrant roasted vegetables and herby relish on the side. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
