New Zealand Spring Lamb’s lamb leg is extremely versatile and can be roasted in the oven or grilled to perfection. The easy preparation of this meal gives you plenty of extra time to focus on enjoying backyard activities with your family and friends.

Kofta Kebobs

These spicy Middle Eastern Kebobs make a great midweek dinner and can even be prepared ahead of time for an easy fix to your busy schedule.
