Roasts

We've come along way from the traditional Sunday roast leg with gravy and two veg. Why not try a New Zealand Lamb leg smothered in garlic and rosemary, slow-roasted in the oven until the lamb is so tender it literally falls off the bone? Or for something really special, a rack of New Zealand Lamb with lemon and parsley?
