Kleftiko-Style Lamb With Tomato & Pepper Garlic Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 240ºC/ 220ºC (fan)/ gas 9 and boil half a kettle, then take your lamb out of the fridge, open the packet and let it adjust to room temperature

Peel your potatoes, chop them into bite-sized pieces and add them to a heatproof bowl, then cover the bowl with cling film and pierce a few holes in the top with a fork, put the bowl in the microwave for 5-6 min or until the potatoes are fork-tender

Meanwhile, roll your lemon[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice) and cut in half

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop roughly

Peel and chop your red onion[s] into wedges

Crush your garlic open by squashing with the side of a knife and remove the skin

Chop your parsley roughly, including the stalks

Dissolve your tomato paste in 200ml [250ml] [380ml] boiled water with 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a pinch of salt – this is your tomato stock

Cut a piece of baking paper (or two!), double the length of a baking tray

Add the baking paper to the baking tray[s], leaving enough excess to fold over on itself to form a parcel

Add the microwaved potatoes, chopped pepper, onion wedges, cherry tomatoes and peeled garlic to the baking tray[s] with a drizzle of olive oil, a small knob of butter dotted all over and a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Pour the tomato stock all over the vegetables, sprinkle over 1/2 tbsp [1 tbsp] [1 1/2 tbsp] flour and give everything a good mix up

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Divide all the ingredients equally between the 2 trays!

Fold the baking paper over the top scrunching it together to form one big parcel in the tray[s]

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 35 min or until the potatoes are completely softened and saucy

Once completely cooked, mix everything together, being careful not to rip the baking paper – these are your tomato & pepper garlic potatoes

Meanwhile, remove the string from your lamb leg joint[s], then pat dry with kitchen paper

Rub the lamb leg joint[s] with a drizzle of olive oil and season with your Mediterranean style seasoning and a generous pinch of salt

Add the seasoned lamb to a separate baking tray with the halved lemon, cut side up, and cook for 25 min or until the lamb is cooked through and very slightly pink inside

Tip: Prefer no pink meat? Cook your lamb for 3-5 min longer!

Once the lamb is cooked, transfer it to a clean chopping board to rest for 3 min before slicing – this is your kleftiko-style lamb

Slice the rested lamb finely
