Roast Lamb Rump & Feta Potatoes with Nutty Veggies & Caramelised Onion Sauce
A roast lamb rump dinner is getting a makeover with caramelised onion chutney sauce spooned over for a sweet and sticky glaze. The potatoes are putting on a show with a sprinkle of creamy feta and don’t worry, the veggies aren’t being left behind, not when they are accessorised with pine nuts.

Ingredients
2 servings
4 servings
- olive oil
- 1 packet lamb rump
- 1 sachet garlic & herb seasoning
- 2 potatoes
- 1 bag baby rainbow carrots
- 1 bag baby broccoli
- 1 packet pine nuts
- 1 packet onion chutney
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 15 gr butter
- 0.25 packets cow's milk feta
- 1 bag parsley
Instructions
- • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Lightly
score lamb fat in a criss-cross pattern.
• Place the lamb, fat-side down, in a large frying
pan (no need for oil!). Place pan over medium
heat and cook, undisturbed, until golden,
10-12 minutes.
• Increase heat to high and sear lamb rump on all
sides for 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, combine garlic & herb seasoning
and a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl.
TIP: Starting the lamb in a cold pan helps the fat to
melt without burning. - • Meanwhile, cut potato into bite-sized chunks,
then place on a lined oven tray.
• Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss
to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until
tender, 25-30 minutes. - • Transfer lamb, fat-side up, to a second lined
oven tray. Spoon garlic-herb mixture over the
lamb. Roast for 15-20 minutes for medium or
until cooked to your liking.
• Remove lamb from the oven, cover with foil and
set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
TIP: The lamb will keep cooking as it rests! - • Trim green tops from baby rainbow carrots
and scrub them clean. Halve carrots and baby
broccoli lengthways.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to
medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
Cook carrots and baby broccoli until tender,
5-6 minutes.
• In the last 1-2 minutes of cook time, add pine
nuts and cook until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Little cooks: Kids can help clean the carrots. - • Return the frying pan to medium heat.
• Cook onion chutney, the butter and balsamic
vinegar with a dash of water until reduced
slightly, 1-2 minutes. - • Slice roast lamb rump.
• Divide rump, roasted potatoes and nutty veggies
between plates. Crumble feta (see ingredients)
over potatoes.
• Spoon over caramelised onion sauce. Serve with
torn parsley. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by tearing over
the parsley.
