    Ingredients

    2kg whole leg of lamb
    150g Greek natural yogurt
    2 tbsp tomato purée
    3 tbsp ras el hanout
    4 large cloves garlic, crushed

    Cook's tip

    This is wonderful served as a roast with traditional accompaniments but also fantastic sliced and piled in warmed pitta, with salad onions, pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds and a little yogurt too, if liked.
