The Great Sunday Lunch
Welsh Lamb
Roast lamb is perfect in the spring and summer when, accompanied by new potatoes, minted peas and a fresh, green salad, it makes the perfect meal for those warm sunny days. Why not try my honey glazed roast parsnips with this delicious dish?
Tomatoes
Roast cherry tomatoes are a delicious accompaniment to roast lamb. Try roasting them with garlic, anchovies and rosemary for an Italian twist!

Why Not Try
With a sharp knife make tiny slits deep into the lamb and slide a sliver of raw garlic into the gap before roasting.
Half way through roasting, take out of the oven, drizzle with honey for a crunchy sweet coating.
Add 2 tablespoons of mint or red current jelly to your gravy before serving.
Don't forget the Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puddings!
