It might look like rice, but risoni is a pasta that makes a great companion for Italian-style roast lamb, tomato and peas

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced. Place lamb in a large baking dish with oregano and garlic. Lightly spray lamb and garlic with oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and bake for 15 minutes or until lamb is cooked to your liking and tomatoes are tender. Transfer lamb to a plate. Cover with foil and set aside to rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly.
