3 Lamb Recipes the Whole Family Will Enjoy
Lamb can be cooked in a variety of different ways. Roasted, grilled, pan fried, stewed, boiled or sautéed, whichever way you cook it, it will always come out tasting amazing. It can be difficult to get the entire family round the table to eat the same meal; the kids are fussy, dad’s working late and you always seem to be cooking more than one meal. With these three lamb recipes you’ll get the whole family running for the table.

We all pretty much know how to cook a Sunday roast, but if you have it every weekend, it can get a little boring. So why don’t you spice things up a bit, and do a slightly posher version of the classic dish.
For this dish you will need:
- 8 New potatoes
- 75ml of an oil of your choice
- Baby carrots
- 12 garlic cloves
- 25g of butter
- rosemary sprigs
- 100ml of red wine
- redcurrant jelly
- 500ml of lamb stock
- 200g of spinach
- Loin of lamb
This dish only takes 50 minutes to prepare and cook, so if desired, it is quick enough to make on a school night. If you want a more cost efficient cut of meat, try substituting the loin for a leg of lamb or gigot steaks. This quick and easy posh roast serves four people. It can be considered a little bit of a treat so is lovely to have on the weekend as well.
