Following on the successful Roast Lamb and Tiramisu workshop last week, I have decided to post an extra recipe here for all lamb lovers and those whose had just fallen in love with the meat last Saturday. Here is something than can be done for a smaller group of diners instead of a whole lamb leg. Enjoy!
