This herb crusted Lamb roast, with baby Roast potatoes only needs one tray, and it’s ready in just 1 hour. Also, it’s really easy to make – as you’ll be able to see!
Putting everything in the same tray saves on washing up (yay!) and also mixes the flavours in the juices of the meat, with the herbs. This method of cooking can be used for a wide variety of dishes – especially for roasted meat.

4tsp Dijon Mustard
50g Ciabatta Breadcrumbs
