Roasts are a great way to eat really well (as long as you go easy on the oil and gravy). And let's be honest, every family get-together is so much more homely and satisfying with a good roast!
1. Preheat oven to 220'C. Finely dive 4 cloves of garlic and place in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, thyme leaves, lemon zest and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until a paste is formed.
2. Rub paste over lamb leg, making sure to cover well. Place lamb in a large roasting pan in the oven and cook for 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 180'C.
3. In a large bowl toss the potatoes in the remaining coconut oil and season well. Add to the roasting tray with the lamb, along with the remaining garlic cloves (unpeeled) and lemon wedges. Continue cooking for around 1 1/2 hours, basting and turning potatoes every 30 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and place lamb leg on a warm serving platter to rest for 15-20 minutes. Discard lemon and garlic and cover potatoes with foil to keep them warm.
5. Five minutes before the lamb is ready, cook broccoli in a large pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Add the peas and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl along with the spinach.
6. Toss gently to allow the heat of the vegetables to slowly wilt the spinach. Add mint, extra lemon zest and butter. Toss to combine and serve immediately with sliced lamb and potatoes.
