1 punnet cherry tomatoes

1 red onion, peeled and cut into wedges

2 bunches asparagus, pimmed

2 tbsp olive oil

4 sprigs rosemary

  • Remove lamb, cover loosely and allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve lamb with roasted vegetables

Tips

  • You can judge the degree of your roast's doneness using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature for: Rare – 55-60ºC, Medium rare – 60-65ºC, Medium – 65-70ºC, Medium well – 70-75ºC, Well done – 75ºC
  • Resting a roast for about 10 to 20 minutes before carving gives the juices in the meat a chance to redisliibute, giving a moister and tender result
