Frequently asked questions
- How long does Herb Crusted Roast Lamb with Garlic Green Beans take?
- About 35 minutes, with 10 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of cooking.
- How do I keep the lamb pink in Herb Crusted Roast Lamb with Garlic Green Beans?
- Take the leg steak out of the oven a little early for medium-rare, then rest it under loose foil before slicing. Thinner steaks cook faster, so check them sooner.
- Can I use lamb chops instead of leg steak?
- Yes, lamb chops or rump work well with the rosemary and thyme rub. Chops cook faster, so start checking them a few minutes earlier.
- How do I stop the garlic burning with the green beans?
- Sauté the garlic for just 1 minute over medium heat until fragrant, then add the beans straight away. Burnt garlic turns bitter and will spoil the beans.
- What else goes well with herb crusted roast lamb?
- Roast potatoes, a creamy mash or a spoonful of mint sauce all pair well. Drizzle a little of the resting juices over the sliced lamb for extra flavour.
