This easy spring lunch is a great way to feed family and friends at the weekend.

Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the lamb on a large baking tray, sprinkle with half the herbs and turn to coat. Roast for 10 mins.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on another baking tray. Drizzle over 1 tbsp oil; season. Once the lamb has had 10 mins in the oven, put the asparagus in and roast both for a further 15-18 mins until the lamb is cooked but still a little pink, and the asparagus is just tender.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and breadcrumbs and fry, stirring, over a medium-high heat for 2-3 mins until crisp and golden. Stir in the remaining herbs and cook for 1 min. Transfer the asparagus to a serving dish and scatter over the garlic and herb crumb. Serve with the lamb.

Tip: To make the breadcrumbs, cut the crusts off day-old sourdough bread and tear into coarse crumbs with your fingers.
