For the challenge I splurged out and bought a boned leg of lamb and made lamb with salsa verde. Lamb loves being stuffed with garlic, anchovies and rosemary and seemed the perfect meat to accompany a salsa verde which has those three ingredients plus capers. You can use which ever herbs you have to make your own green sauce and make it as powerful as you would like. I love loads of olives and capers but I am not so keen on lots of garlic. In fact, I much prefer to use pickled garlic for these types of sauces.

That lamb looks perfectly cooked. It is making my mouth water.
it went far enough to feed us at lunch time as well!
