This roast lamb with anchovy, garlic and rosemary is a classic dish. However, in this recipe we make a paste with the anchovies, rosemary leaves and garlic cloves and smudge this all over the lamb. It’s easy, yummy and perfect for Easter or Sunday lunch, served with roasted potatoes, carrots and steamed veggies.
