    Lightly seasoned new potatoes and asparagus or green beans would be my go to
    id probably do a green salad too.
    Lamb is also great with brussel sprouts, Swiss chard, and carrots.

    what's your favorite veggie?

    As you have the oven on anyway, I would roast a few vegetables.

    Coat the veggies in some olive oil. At 200C asparagus only takes 10-12 minutes. Broccoli florettes takes maybe 25. Carrots around 45. Add more time if you are doing your lamb at a lower temperature.

    If you don't want to stress about timing, as it is your first time doing the lamb you could instead griddle some courgette and aubergine on a cast iron griddle pan in advance and serve them at room temperature.

    A few potatoes would be nice.

    why not roast some root veggies while you're using the oven? (Carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets)

    Nom, nom, nom!

    Hi there. My name's Anne and maybe I can help. I ran a successful Personal Cheffing business for five years.

    A nice side is roasted root veggies. I usually use a combination of any of the following: fennel, turnip, beets, parsnip, carrots, onions, potatoes. Whatever's in season is best. Just spray a foil-lined roasting pan w/Olive oil-flavored cooking spray, toss your veggies in. Spray the tops of the veggies w/a little more spray, a tiny sprinkle of Kosher salt, fresh-ground black pepper and some herbs, if desired. Roast at 400 degree F until caramelized. You'll want to turn the veggies over halfway through the roasting process. YUM!

    Another good accompaniment: roasted broccolini. Same method, temp, etc. Tastes so good and good for you too!

    Broccolini is my new favorite vegetable.

    Lately I've been making roasted brussels sprouts...halved and tossed with a bit of olive or grapeseed oil, a dash of sesame oil, dash of balsamic vinegar, dash of cayenne pepper, a couple of tablespoons maple syrup, chopped onions and pecans and sometimes a bit of bacon if i have it. Cook until tender. I'm really liking that.

    Also asparagus tossed with some olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, a clove of garlic and a couple of tablespoons of grated Parmesan, then bake in a dish until tender.
