Method

  2. Roast the Lamb: Roast for 25 minutes per 500g for a medium result. Remove from oven, tightly cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes. Remove the netting case before carving.
  3. Make the Spiced Beetroot Hummus: Combine beetroot, beetroot juice, chickpeas, cumin, salt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest in a food processor until smooth and vibrant. Adjust seasoning to taste and chill until ready to serve.
