Easy
15 minutes
1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Woolworths Easy to Cook free-range deboned legs of lamb
  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 100 g green olives
  • 100 g black olives
  • 100 g butter
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 350 g cauliflower florets
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 50 g butter
  • 1 x 500 g punnet Woolworths ready-made sweet potato mash
  • 1 T ground turmeric
  • Plain yoghurt, for serving

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  2. Roast Woolworths Easy to Cook free-range deboned legs of lamb according to package instructions. In the last 10 minutes of roasting, remove the roasting bags.
  3. Add anchovy fillets, green olives, black olives, 100 g butter and sprigs fresh rosemary, season and continue cooking.
  4. Meanwhile, toss cauliflower florets in olive oil, 50 g butter and seasoning, then roast for 20 minutes or until tender but still slightly crunchy.
  5. Prepare Woolworths ready-made sweet potato mash, combining the butter from the punnet with ground turmeric in a pan. Serve the lamb with the roast cauliflower, sweet potato mash, a swirl of plain yoghurt and the turmeric butter.

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