Lamb dinner

Fantastic dinner tonight. We are big fans of Jamie Oliver in this house, go figure with J in the house! :)
Tonight we added another recipe to the long list of sucessful dishes we have cooked from Jamie's dinners 'the essential family cookbook'.

Yesterday I marinated a butterflied leg of lamb in this:

1 large bunch mint, roughly chopped
1 large bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled
500 grams natural yogurt
1/2 (400 gram) can chickpeas, drained and mashed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced

I am lazy – I love the food processor and cannot live without it! I put all of the above into the food processor and whizzed away. Then scored the lamb on both sides and put in glad zip lock back with the marinade. Marinated for 30 hours.

Tonight I added the following on a tray

Baby carrots
Quartered red onions
Baby turnips
Butternut squash, cut into chunks
1/2 can chick peas, drained
Ground cumin (2 teaspoons)  
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Then take the lamb out of marinade and put on oven rack over the tray. Cook in oven for 1h...

Delicious, promise!!!

Now my friends I have to go and watch 60 minutes on la television! A Demain!!
