Steps:
- First, make the pesto. Put all the ingredients (except the olive oil and lemon juice) and a pinch of salt into the small bowl of a food processor. Pulse until very finely chopped. While the processor is on, drizzle the olive oil in to make a paste. Tip the pesto into a small bowl and stir in the lemon juice.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the scored lamb leg in a large roasting tin and use half the pesto to generously coat the skin and flesh, pressing it between all the cracks for extra juiciness. Put the rest of the pesto in the fridge, covered with cling film, and remove just before serving.
- Roast the lamb for 1 hr 45 mins. Check during cooking that it's not drying out - if the base of the roasting tin starts to look dry, spread a little more pesto over the top of the lamb.
- Remove the lamb from the tin, cover with foil and leave to rest for 30-40 mins before serving on lemon slices and fresh garden herbs, if you like. Carve at the table and serve with the remaining pesto to drizzle over.

LAMB LOIN CHOPS WITH MINT PESTO
Steps:
- Preheat grill on high.
- Rub the lamb with the olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the oregano, thyme, rosemary, pepper and salt. Rub mixture all over the lamb. Let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- While chops are resting, prepare the Mint Pesto.
- Grill the lamb chops 2 to 3 minutes per side, for medium rare.
- Serve the lamb chops with the Mint Pesto.
- Add the garlic to a food processor and pulse until chopped. Add the pine nuts and pulse to chop. Add half of the herbs and chop for 30 seconds, then add the rest of the herbs and chop. Add in the Parmesan and salt and pepper, pulse briefly until combined. While machine is running, slowly add the oil in a steady stream and process to desired thickness.
LAMB SCHNITZELS WITH MINT-HORSERADISH PESTO
This is a lamb dish done schnitzel-style, devised as a pairing for blaufränkisch wine from Austria. Ask your butcher to pound slices of top round of lamb, from the leg, only lightly, which will result in pieces that are about a half-inch thick, providing enough tolerance so the meat can brown without overcooking. Refrigerating the coated slices before frying them helps, too. A pesto sauce, made with mint leaves and zapped with horseradish, picks up some of the herbal and pepper flavors in the wine. Warm potato salad in a vinaigrette dressing would be a perfect side dish for the schnitzel.

Steps:
- Spread flour on a dinner plate and season with salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons horseradish. In a shallow bowl, beat egg with 1 tablespoon water. Spread bread crumbs onto a dinner plate. Dip lamb pieces first in flour, shaking off excess, then in egg, then in crumbs. Place on a platter. Refrigerate.
- Place mint leaves and remaining horseradish in food processor and process until mint is minced. Slowly drizzle in olive oil through feed tube. Transfer to a serving bowl, stir in juice of 1 lemon and sour cream, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil to a depth of about 1/2 inch in a 12-inch skillet to very hot. Add 2 slices of lamb and cook over medium-high heat until browned, turning once, about 2 minutes a side. Try to keep oil and lamb moving in pan by gently sliding pan on burner in a circular motion. When done, place lamb on several thicknesses of paper towel to drain. Repeat with remaining lamb. Lamb will be medium-rare. If you want it more well done, reduce heat to medium so it takes longer to cook.
- Transfer to a platter, and serve, with sauce and remaining lemon in wedges.

SPICY LAMB MEATBALLS WITH RAISIN PESTO
Loving meatballs has never been this rewarding. They're gilded with lots of strong spices and set in a cooling swoosh of yogurt and anointed with the sweet brightness of a mint pesto. Sound fancy? Not really. We use ground lamb, which is naturally fatty and can be baked without sacrificing juiciness or a charred crust.

Steps:
- Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Combine egg, panko, cumin, red pepper flakes, turmeric, finely chopped parsley, 2 Tbsp. oil, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Finely grate 1 garlic clove into bowl. Add lamb and mix with your hands until evenly distributed.
- Gently roll lamb mixture into 1 1/2"-diameter balls (about the size of a golf ball; you should have about 20). Place on a rimmed baking sheet, spacing evenly apart. Bake meatballs until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, purée mint, raisins, parsley leaves with tender stems, remaining garlic clove, remaining 1/2 cup oil, and a big pinch of salt in a blender until smooth. Taste pesto; season with more salt if needed.
- Spread yogurt over plates and divide pesto and meatballs on top.
- Do Ahead
- Pesto can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Meatballs can be formed 2 months ahead; freeze on baking sheet until firm, about 2 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag and keep frozen.
