Just cooked the lamb (with the salads) but did make me think that having a non-lamb alternative would be good. For the non-lamb eaters (first born included) and non-meat eaters.
Upping the amount of lentil salad means a good lunch or two with the other left overs.
Marinade
150g yoghurt
3 garlic cloves crushed plus grated one inch of garlic (or 3tsp of minced garlic and ginger paste)
1 tbsp Tom purée
Juice of half a lime
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp crushed chilli flakes (or 1 tsp cayenne)
1 tsp crushed fennel seeds
Marinate 2kg leg of lamb (slashed) or 4 salmon fillets or some combination. In more detail - put meat / fish in bag(s) and add marinade ensuring marinade is rubbed into slashes. Seal and refrigerate overnight.
Cook
Lamb - in foil lined tray, cook for 20 mins at 200C then at 170C for 1 hour 20. Cover with foil half way through.
Salmon - haven't tried. 20 mins in oven turning once?
