Elevate lamb with indigenous nuts and herbs!
Ingredients:
  • 1.8kg leg of lamb
  • 117.98 gm honey
  • 1/4 tsp dried mint leaves
  • 125.00 ml macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
  • 9.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 middle bacon rashers, trimmed, finely chopped
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh mint
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Lightly grease a large roasting pan. Put lamb in the pan. Mix honey and dried mint in a small bowl until combined. Brush half of the honey mixture over the lamb. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the lamb, brushing with the sweet honey glaze every 20 minutes, for 1 hour and 30 minutes for medium doneness, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Place the lamb on a plate, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Toast macadamias for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl. Add oil to pan, increase to medium-high heat. Cook bacon until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Combine with macadamias in the bowl, season with salt and pepper.
  • After skimming fat from the roasting pan, leave ¼ cup of juices in the pan. Place the pan over high heat, add flour, and cook while stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbling. Gradually pour in the stock, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix the fresh mint with the macadamia mixture and sprinkle it over the lamb. Serve the sliced lamb drizzled with gravy.
