Roasted Loin of Lamb with Orange and Cumin Glazed Carrots

Preheat the oven to 180˚C.

Trim the lamb of any excess fat and place it skin side down on the bench.

Combine the feta cheese with the remaining ingredients to make a smooth paste. Spread evenly over the flesh side of the lamb. Roll up from the flap end and tie at intervals with kitchen string to secure.

Heat an ovenproof sauté pan with a little olive oil. Season the lamb and brown it on all sides. Transfer to the oven and roast for 40-50 minutes for lamb that is still a little pink in the centre. Cover loosely and rest for 10 minutes.

Carrots: Cut the carrots into long, thick shards. Heat the olive oil and a little butter in a wide sauté pan, add the carrots, season and cook until golden on all sides. Add the orange juice, water and cumin and cook, uncovered, until the carrots are tender and the pan juices are reduced and syrupy.

To serve: Remove the string from the lamb and slice. Place the carrots on plates and top with the lamb and rocket, spooning over the meat resting juices.
