Roast leg of lamb with garam masala and aubergines

5.00

This roast leg of lamb is smothered in a garam masala paste full of warm spices that compliment the flavour of the meat. Diced aubergines and shallots are added towards the end of cooking so that they cook in the lamb fat and stock and become very soft. Serve this with rice, freekeh or couscous.
