If you were serving lamb stuffed with feta, garlic and herbs...

...what would you serve with it? Potato? Veg? Salad and bread? The recipe is strangely silent on serving suggestions and I'm uninspired...

Cous cous it is. If I go the roasted veg route I won't need separate veg and carbs. Nice work every one. I'll report back on whether I managed to conquer my cous cous phobia.

I love this with lamb.

obviously you're dead right jackieno its really nice actually, a bit like hummus but not quite iyswim! you can then serve it next day as a hummus with bits of fried leftover lamb on top of it and a few chickpeas on top, clever huh!

Definitely couscous - can't go wrong. Put some in a bowl, pour enough boiling water over it to cover it with about half a cm over the top (IYSWIM, can't think how to explain it properly), put a plate or a piece of kitchen roll over the top and leave it for 10 mins. I add toasted pine nuts, lemon juice and fry up various veg to make it more interesting - red onion, garlic, courgette, red pepper. Stir in chopped mint and coriander and YUM .

Ooh - the chickpea puree sounds yummy. I reckon it might benefit from something with a bit of liquid for textural contrast .

It's a leg, LHC. Maureen - I fear cous cous, never really got my head round it, but perhaps this is the time to go for it.

depending on the cut, i often puree chickpeas with cumin seeds and a bit of garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve the lamb placed on it with pitta bread

I'd go for cous cous as well. Maybe with lemon juice & zest, peas and a bit of rocket tossed in too.

WHat, um, shape is the lamb? I mean, what sort of cut of lamb, and how is it presented? Some sort of potato gratin, maybe?
