Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Use a small, sharp knife to make shallow cuts over the surface of the lamb. Rub pesto all over the lamb and into the cuts. Place in a large roasting pan. Season. Roast for 1 hour, covering lamb with foil if necessary to prevent overbrowning.

  2. Step 2

    Combine capsicum, eggplant, zucchini and onion in a bowl. Toss with oil and vinegar. Season. Arrange in pan around lamb and roast, adding tomatoes to the pan for the last 15 mins of cooking, for a further 1 hour. Transfer lamb to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 30 mins to rest.

  3. Step 3

    Slice lamb and serve with ratatouille, basil and crusty bread.
