Redcurrant Roast Lamb
Filed in archive Recipes , Traditions on April 13, 2006

I have two more lamb recipes from Meat & Livestock Australia. Like I mentioned yesterday, a lamb roast is traditional in many countries' Easter meals. But online surfing seems to show this lovely meat often appears on the blogs of the wonderful people of the British Commonwealth countries!
Hot cross buns are another related food item associated with Good Friday and easter sunday. Over at Becks & Posh, Sam says they used to be ordered through the Boy Scouts and then delivered on Good Friday morning. Nowadays, they're sold in supermarkets. But you can always bake your own! Helen at Grab Your Fork baked some hot cross buns just last week.
Below is another lamb recipe.
Redcurrant Roast Lamb

Tip
For variety try these other delicious Lamb roast bastes include 1 tbsp mustard mixed with 1 tbsp honey; or 2 tbsp lemon juice mixed with 1 tbsp olive oil
Another dreamily tasty recipe is Lex Culinaria's roast lamb leg with peach and mint salsa.

This lamb roast would become more delicious if more spice was added. I would like to see green chilies and yoghurt being added here. Well, and from south Asia and we love make our meat curries spicy.

What a mouth-watering dish! I don't even like lamb but it makes me want to try it.

Hi Razib, I love spicy food too but now and then I also like to taste the natural flavour of meat and this Australian recipe's just about right. But your suggestion's a good variation too.
Hello Anita! Do try it! You can cook it with another jam. Blueberry or tamarind are two that I personally use.
