Method
- Heat oven to 160C/140 C fan/gas 3. To make the romesco sauce, mix the peppers, garlic, almonds, oil and vinegar together with some seasoning then set aside.
- Put the remaining ingredients except the potatoes in a large baking dish, transfer to the oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
- Increase the oven temperature to 180C/ 160C fan/gas 5. Remove the tray from the oven and toss in the potatoes then return the tray to the oven and cook for a further 45 minutes. If your potatoes are not quite tender, remove the lamb to rest and continue cooking your potatoes.
- Serve the lamb with the potatoes, the sticky pan juices and the romesco sauce.
