Trim all visible fat before seasoning and cooking. Lamb is higher in fat than many meats. Enjoy this great dish as a treat and limit your portion sizes. Serve with roasted potatoes, veggies and a low fat gravy or red wine jus. Roast potatoes can be cooked at same time by cutting up put in glass dish – sprinkle a bit of olive oil , salt and pepper and cook with the lamb.
