Here’s a simple quick easy not so messy in the kitchen. This is a great weekend cooking if you are looking for some relaxing time and would like to spend more time with family.

You can get the kids to help setting up the table. While you are frying the vegetables. Your husband can help putting the marinated lambs on the lined foil tray and start the oven.

Weekend can be great for everyone doing something different and at the same time everyone can enjoy a delicious healthy meal as family with no interruption’s selfie or tv. It’s a quiet dinner for family.

My friend gave me kumquat jam, so I thought why not add to my meal. It’s a perfect combination and caramelised the lamb.

Happy weekend meal made perfect with just a few ingredients and for everyone to enjoy time together.
