Bet you never thought you could do the family lamb roast in the Thermomix...and, technically you can't. But you can certainly take it up from suburban to sublime with this marinade, and steaming it first just means you get the rare without the raw, the char without the charred off! I have a few great roasts started in the Varoma, you can see the others in my new book, Cooking with Tenina; more great recipes with the Thermomix. Go get it! In the meantime, enjoy this one.
