Impress your guests with apricot-glazed leg of lamb and avocado salad.
Ingredients:
  • 2.5kg leg of lamb
  • 2 brown onions, thinly sliced
  • 23.40 gm dijon mustard
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 24.40 gm worcestershire sauce
  • 165.00 ml apricot jam
  • 62.50 ml brandy
  • 150g green beans, halved lengthways
  • 65.63 gm lemon juice
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 gem lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 82.50 ml skinless hazelnuts, toasted, chopped
  • 82.50 ml golden raisins
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 30.00 ml finely chopped fresh dill
Instructions:
  • Take the lamb out of the refrigerator an hour before cooking to let it reach room temperature.
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Arrange a bed of onions in a spacious roasting pan, pour in 1 cup of water, then nestle the lamb on top.
  • In a bowl, mix together mustard, rosemary, sauce, jam, and brandy. Pour half of the mixture over the lamb. Roast the lamb for 1 to 1 hour 10 minutes, basting with the remaining mixture halfway through cooking. Once done, cover the lamb loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Prepare the Hazelnut and Golden Raisin Salad by blanching the beans in boiling water for 30 seconds until they are tender. Quickly cool them down under cold running water, then drain well.
  • In a small bowl, mix together juice and oil, then season. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, cucumber, beans, avocado, hazelnuts, raisins, onion, and dill. Toss the ingredients together. Arrange the salad on a serving board with brown onion and lamb, drizzle with dressing, and serve.
