Moroccan Lamb with Garbanzo Bean Mash

This Moroccan-inspired lamb with chickpea mash is a sophisticated yet easy high-protein dish that brings the vibrant flavours of North Africa to your kitchen. Succulent butterflied leg of lamb is marinated in a fragrant blend of warming cinnamon, earthy cumin, and bright orange zest, resulting in a tender roast that is deeply aromatic. The red wine and ginger marinade doubles as a rich glaze, ensuring every slice is packed with savoury depth.

Served alongside a comforting, coarse chickpea mash, this recipe offers a healthy, high-fibre alternative to traditional potatoes. It is a brilliant choice for a nutritious mid-week supper or an effortless weekend dinner party. The combination of lean lamb and protein-rich pulses makes it particularly satisfying, especially when finished with a generous scatter of fresh coriander and the pan’s own citrusy juices.
