    Method

    Step 1 of 5

    Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced. Remove kitchen string from lamb. Rub oil and Italian herbs over lamb. Layer the streaky bacon over the top of the lamb and tie at 3cm intervals with kitchen string.

    Step 2 of 5

    Place lamb in a large baking paper-lined roasting pan. Place potatoes around lamb. Pour stock over potatoes. For a 1.4kg leg, roast for 11/4 hours for medium or until lamb is cooked to your liking (see tip 2).

    Step 3 of 5

    Meanwhile, for Pistachio dressing, place pistachios, parsley, garlic, juice, 2 tablespoons of warm water, honey and oil in bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Season to taste.

    Step 4 of 5

    Transfer lamb to a plate. Rest lamb for 15 minutes, loosely covered with foil. Place potatoes on a tray and keep warm. Strain cooking juices into a clean pan. Bring to the boil, cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

    Step 5 of 5

    Carve lamb and serve with reserved pan juices. Cut a cross in the top of each potato and squeeze open, spoon over pistachio dressing. Tip 1: Swap easy carve lamb with lamb rack roasts in this recipe and omit the streaky bacon. Tip 2: When roasting lamb on the bone allow 25 minutes per 500g at 200C fan-forced as a guide. Tip 3: Swap for the pistachio dressing for pesto in this recipe.
