AFTERNOON AUTO WIN – FOR SIX – LAMB ROAST MEAL HAMPER – 09/06

Your ‘Spring Lamb Roast’ box will include;

• Whole Leg of Spring Lamb (approx. 3kg), from our Master Butchers

Spring is officially here and for us that means one thing… incredibly sweet and succulent Spring Lamb! As well as a few other local farmers, we work closely with Ben Mortimore who farms just across the River Exe at Powderham. He has a flock of Poll Dorset ewes; a unique, native breed that are beautifully suited to the mild and sheltered micro-climate of the Exe Estuary. They tend to lamb earlier than most commercial flocks, giving us some of the earliest lamb in the country.

Full of robust and delicious flavour, this wonderfully tender joint is perfect for Sunday lunch and a real family favourite. For a real show-stopper, we recommend making some slits in the side and stuffing with rosemary and garlic.

• 2.5kg Devon New Potatoes –  Beautiful, fresh and full of flavour! Optimal climatic conditions mean that Cornwall and Devon yield the earliest of the UKs potato crop each year. Devon New Potatoes are incredibly versatile; they are delicious simply boiled with a knob of butter or fried with little bit of garlic and rosemary.
• 1kg Broccoli – Delicious simply steamed, or in a Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheese!
• 1kg Parsnips  – You can’t beat golden, honey glazed parsnips with a Sunday roast!
• 1kg Carrots – Incredibly versatile, we love our carrots roasted with honey, for something a little different try adding some garlic!
• 1 x Cauliflower –Whether you’re steaming, roasting or making cauli cheese, you can’t be the nutty and sweet flavour of cauliflower.
• 1 x Bulb of Garlic, grown on The Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight – Colin, Jenny and their family have been growing and hand picking their garlic on the Isle of Wight for over 40 years. The unique conditions mean the garlic is bursting with flavour.
• Bunch of Fresh Rosemary
• 2 x The Bay Tree Rich and Fruity Redcurrant & Rosemary Gravy –  Emma Macdonald marries traditional cooking methods with innovative flavours to create The Bay Tree’s delicious sauces
• Rose Farm Mint Sauce – Crafted locally in Wedmore, Somerset, using carefully selected ingredients to produce unique local and family recipes made by hand in open pans.; this mint sauce is brimming with the flavour of real mint which has been grown in Britain. You can’t beat the classic combination of mint sauce and roast lamb!
