The best of spring lamb

Spiced lamb with grape tzatziki

A quick roast is a thing of wonder and this lamb is deliciously flavoured with the tastes of the Mediterranean – pomegranate molasses, mint and honey. We love the ease of the grape tzatziki for a different twist on a standard.

Lamb parmigiana

Kids love schnitzel and parents love the ease of getting dinner on the table. With all the flavours of Italy, these lamb parmigiana are brighten with the parsley sauce and creamy mozzarella.

Lamb racks with asparagus and watercress sauce

Few vegetables signal spring more iconically than asparagus. Make sure you grab bunches that are skinny – the larger ones can be woody and are unwelcome in this dish.

Greek lamb salad

A café classic, this Greek lamb salad is super simple to throw together at home. Make the marinade, it’s not too much effort but will make all the difference to the final meal.

Lamb and mushroom korma

Forget takeaways, you can pull together a top notch curry at home easily enough with this delicious korma. Amped up with mushrooms and spinach, it’s infinitely better for you than the takeaway joint on the corner.

Lamb quinoa salad

Simple and healthy, fluffy quinoa makes for a great and tasty base of this salad. Tender lamb rumps are a quick cook, so this is dinner, or lunch, on the table in 30 minutes or so.

Sticky glazed lamb loin chops

We love lamb chops and these sticky glazed ones are hard to beat. Perfect on the barbecue on those hot and sunny days, we recommend making a double batch because they will get stolen from the grill.

Spiced aubergine

Perfect when aubergines are in season, the spiced lamb mixture is moreish and can be made in advance. We like to make double and freeze a batch for an easy future meal.

Herb and caper lamb cutlets

There is something special about serving a lamb rack. It’s simple and impressive, especially against the pile of crushed peas underneath. Heralding spring, it’s a delicious way to impress.

Karahi ghosht lamb curry

Indian curries are great all year round and this rich and spicy number is divine. We love it serve with fresh roti and mango chutney on the side.

Turkish lamb gozleme

These stuffed flatbreads are healthy and nutritious while still bringing big flavour. Serve them with plenty of lemon wedges for freshly squeezing over and a big green salad on the side.

Korean lamb tacos

The marriage of two iconic cuisines sounds interesting but it works. Slow cooked lamb turns into a spiced delight with a zingy carrot salad and pickled onions.

Lamb loin with Indian spiced cauliflower salad

This salad is pretty, almost too pretty to eat. The roasted cauliflower and pumpkin are tossed in fragrant spices, that seem to taste better the next day too.

Lamb rack with mint pesto and kumara puree

This is classic New Zealand on a plate but modernised. A simple lamb rack with minty crust and of course, kumara puree. Put it on your menu for your next dinner party or date night in.
