This elegant roast leg of lamb with mint, garlic and lima bean purée is a sophisticated take on a classic British favourite. By butterflying the lamb and rolling it with a vibrant mixture of fresh mint, parsley and rosemary, every slice is infused with aromatic flavour and stays wonderfully succulent. It is an impressive centrepiece that offers a lighter, modern alternative to the traditional Sunday roast, especially when paired with the velvet-smooth bean purée.
As a high-protein dish, this recipe is as nourishing as it is delicious. The lima bean purée provides a creamy, savoury base that complements the richness of the meat without the need for heavy potatoes. It is an excellent choice for a weekend dinner party or a family gathering, providing a wholesome, homemade meal that feels truly special.
