This recipe is a little sneak peak at one of our family-friendly recipes that you’ll find in our 8 Week Program.
This roast lamb recipe is all about bold flavour, homely cooking and nutrient-rich ingredients.
This is my twist on the classic Sunday lamb roast. With roasted and smashed veggies to add some flare and fun and served with a flavoursome gravy that uses no flour to thicken!
This recipe uses whole food ingredients so is naturally gluten free, dairy free, sugar free and Paleo.

Nutrition 101:

  • Lamb is high in protein and delivers a good dose of iron and amino acids.
  • Sweet potato and pumpkin provide a great source of vitamins A and C.
  • Our LLN pumpkin gravy is naturally gluten free as it uses no flour. Instead we use pumpkin + chia seeds to add a burst of nutritional goodness.

  • 1 medium Sweet Potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 Kent or Jap Pumpkin (or 1/2 Butternut Pumpkin), chopped

  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Pinch Sea salt

Instructions

  • Pre-heat fan-forced oven to 220C. 
  • Place rosemary sprigs and 1/2 of the garlic cloves on the bottom of a high-sided roasting tray. 
  • Deeply score the fat side of the lamb, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on top of rosemary and garlic. 
  • Cover tray with aluminium foil and place in oven. Reduce oven temperature to 150°C and cook for 4 hours or until meat pulls apart easily with a fork. (Remove foil with 30 mins cooking time to go). 
  • With 1 hour 15 mins to go place remaining garlic cloves, sweet potato and pumpkin in a separate roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil and roast in oven. 
  • Once lamb is cooked remove from oven and place on a chopping board. Cover with aluminium foil and a tea towel and allow to rest. 
  • Meanwhile make gravy. Pour out oil from lamb tray and discard rosemary sprigs. Mash 2- 3 garlic cloves in the pan (discard others)  1/2 cup of the roasted pumpkin until smooth and mix into any caramelised residual flavour on bottom of pan. Add 400mLs water, onion powder, chia seeds, salt and peppers and use a fork to mix well. Place flameproof tray on stovetop (or alternatively transfer ingredients to a small saucepan) and bring to a simmer and allow gravy to reduce for 5-8 minutes, stirring regularly or until desired consistency. 
  • Blanch or steam green beans for 5- 8 minutes or until tender. Drain. 
  • Remove vegetables from oven and roughly mash sweet potato, pumpkin and garlic cloves with a fork. 
  • Carve lamb and serve with vegetables and gravy. 

Notes
