Anyone who knows me knows my love affair with roast lamb. This recipe is bursting with flavour and the meat literally falls off the bone! The crunchy herbs and spices add a delightful contrast in texture, making it perfect for a long, lazy Sunday lunch. You simply can’t go wrong with this classic dish!
Need dinner inspiration? Try our family-friendly cheesy lasagna with a mouthwatering meaty ragout – an easy and quick delight! Even my littlies couldn’t resist seconds, resulting in adorable little bulging tummies! Perfect for busy nights and freezer-friendly too! Wrap it tightly before freezing for a delicious future meal.
My absolute favourite thing to make for Sunday lunch at Notachef’s Table is a lamb shoulder. It is so juicy and tender and reminds me of Christmas in my granny’s kitchen when I always tried to get my hands on the crispy leg of lamb fat when she wasn’t looking! I often got wrapped over the knuckles instead! It’s the season for roasts and a perfect dish for the holidays when you have lots of people around. I love serving my lamb with an interesting rice dish like Jerusalem-spiced rice and a couple of salads.
I love meatballs! They are great as finger food and our kids love them too! Double bonus! These lamb meatballs with jewels of feta and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses are absolutely mouthwatering: perfect as part of a tapas meal or in a lunchbox for work or school. I usually make a couple of batches and freeze them in portions for those evenings where I just don’t feel like cooking. Yes, believe it or not, that actually happens to me too!
We live in KZN and every family has their version of the best bunny. I’ve added my twist to the faithful Durban bunny by making lamb tikka masala instead. this curry has a ton of ingredients, but the end result is so well worth it, that I am sure this will become your new go-to curry! Do yourself a favour and go to the trouble of baking your own bread. These little loaves are so soft and fluffy, you will thank me later!
