Where do you come up with this stuff, michael? OMG, here I am, failure-at-cooking-lamb person, thinking that this might just work for me! Maybe you have a career as a cooking teacher to the masses... I'd come, really, I would! I will be attempting this dish really, really soon. Thanks, michael! ^5...

Fantastic recipe, Michael! Love the ingredients in this recipe, and the salsa sounds so amazing! An easy 5 from me!


A beautifully enticing recipe, michael. Lamb is such a treat when it is done right and this does it justice. Greatly imaginative and 5 forks.


Now we're talkin .......;-)~ I love your root veggie roast. Great choice of veggies to go with the lamb and your minted salsa condiment sounds awesome. Worth more than a 5 that's for sure..
Thanks for sharing... Jim


Michael what a gorgeous recipe! I love everything about it my friend! The roasted roots and lamb are a great combination, love it! A big 5 from me and I agree with Jim, it is worth more than that!


This is fabulous! Instead of the mint jelly you made a mint salsa! How delicious! Michael, you have me as your fan!


This is a great recipe. Very simple but also clever. It was devised by a Master Chef contestant and is in their 2006 recipe book. There are a couple of other good lamb recipes in that book too.


The first time I ate Lamb was at The Elyssee Hotel in London, England. It was on the menu and this meat and potatoes kid from teh Mid-west had never eaten anything like that. Always desired a great Lamb recipe so I definitely will consider this one when I get the courage enough to revisit the past. Bon Apetite!


This sounds fantastic
