Spring into Flavor with Roasted Lamb Sausages

As the seasons change, our taste buds crave something new and exciting. Why settle for the usual pork or chicken sausages when you can indulge in the rich flavor of roasted lamb sausages?

A Refreshing Twist: Grape-Mint Relish

The key to elevating this dish lies in the perfect pairing of the lamb sausages with a cool and refreshing grape-mint relish. This sweet and tangy condiment beautifully balances the meatiness of the lamb, creating a harmonious flavor experience.

Selecting the Right Ingredients

When shopping for lamb sausages, opt for fresh ones that aren’t heavily seasoned. You want to allow the natural flavors of the lamb to shine through, without overpowering the relish. For the relish, use red seedless grapes, fresh mint leaves, and a hint of red onion for added depth.

Planning Ahead

To make the most of your time, prepare the grape-mint relish up to 2 days in advance, minus the mint. Simply add the chopped mint just before serving, and you’re ready to go!
