All the lamb roast recipes to try this Easter

There’s a lot we would give up for a lamb roast. Including five to six hours of roasting time for the yoghurt-marinated leg of lamb, or an overnight marinade for the schwarma-style lamb. We’re just that into it.

Lamb shanks with chakalaka

Cook's note: Nothing goes with lamb shanks and chakalaka quite like a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes. Try sweet potato mash as a guilt-free alternative.

Deboned leg of lamb with turmeric sweet potato mash

Cook's note: Nutty roast cauliflower, earthy turmeric sweet potato mash, salty olive-and-anchovy lamb... a perfect match!

Rosemary salt-baked lamb rack

Cook's note: The salt crust allows the meat to roast evenly and imparts flavour and succulence. It doesn't impart an overly salty flavour.

Yoghurt-marinated leg of lamb stuffed with spinach

Five to six hours in the oven, but absolutely worth the wait.

Cook's note: The longer you leave the lamb in the yoghurt marinade, the more tender it’ll be.
