The Grimoire: Yggdrasil Roast Potatoes & Lamb with Hommodis Herb

Punchy, earthy and fragrant, from the mythical tree of life.

Hommodis Herb is the grimoire's all-rounder: a rosemary-and-thyme-led herb blend that loves potatoes, lamb and even beef in equal measure. Roughly translated from Yggdrasil itself, it brings a fragrant, earthy depth to a Sunday roast.

What you'll need

• 1 kg potatoes, peeled and quartered
• A lamb leg or shoulder (or a few lamb chops)
• 2–3 tbsp olive oil or butter, melted
• Hommodis Herb, generously

The method

1. Par-boil the potatoes 8 minutes, drain and steam-dry.
2. Rub the lamb all over with oil and a heavy coat of Hommodis Herb. For a joint, rest it seasoned for an hour at room temperature first.
3. Toss the potatoes in melted butter or oil and dust with more Hommodis Herb.
4. Roast the lamb to your liking (around 20 min per 500 g at 180°C fan for medium), adding the potatoes around it for the last 45 minutes so they soak up the juices.
5. Rest the lamb 15 minutes before carving.

Sage's tips

• Mix a spoonful into softened butter and melt it over the carved lamb for a fragrant finishing gloss.
• Equally good stirred through a warm potato salad.
