Step 1

Preheat the oven to 140º degrees.

Step 2

With the fresh mint lay 2 large handfuls on the bottom of the tray.

Step 3

Take a garlic bulb and break it up. Give them a bash to break their skins. Pop them on the bottom of the pan with the mint.

Step 4

Chop up an onion into chunks and add them too.

Step 5

Place the lamb on top. By creating a small gap under the lamb the fats will drip off and give you a great base for a gravy to go with your meal.

Step 6

Mix together 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and drizzle over the lamb. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper and it’s ready to bake.

Step 7

When you cook roast lamb it takes about 25 minutes per pound (1 pound is about 500g) at 150ºC/300ºF/Gas mark 2.

Step 8

Serve with your favourite vegetables and of course gravy and mint sauce.
