1 T coriander seeds, toasted
1 T smoked paprika
1 t dried chilli
6 T olive oil
4 sticks celery, cut into chunks
2 red onions, cut into chunks
2 x 400 g cans cherry tomatoes

tahini, for drizzling

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Make small, deep incisions into the lamb using a small, sharp knife and stuffthe rosemary and garlic into the incisions.

2. Crush the cumin and coriander seeds, then mix with the paprika, dried chilli and 4 T olive oil and rub onto the lamb. Season to taste.

3. Place the celery, onions, tomatoes and stock in a deep roasting pan. Top with the lamb and cover tightly with tinfoil.

4. Reduce the oven’s temperature to 180°C and roast for 3½ hours. Uncover and roast for a further 30 minutes, increasing the oven’s temperature to 200°C. Remove from the roasting pan and rest for 30 minutes before serving.

5. Add the lentils to the roasting tray and stir through. Add 1 cup water if necessary and roast for 30–45 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked.

6. Place the beetroot on a sheet of tinfoil, drizzle with the sherry vinegar and remaining olive oil and season. Wrap up and roast for 1 hour. Peel and drizzle with the tahini and scatter with mint.

7. Serve the lamb with the beetroot, yoghurt, lemon juice, lentils and toasted naan or pita breads.
