Here the leg of lamb has been tunnel boned, but the shank has been left intact. Often referred to as a 'carvery cut', this makes for easy carving once cooked. Baked tomatoes are really delicious and possibly an underrated accompaniment to lamb. If you are short on a colourful vegetable to have for dinner, pop these in the oven. Recipe from Kathy Paterson's cookbook, 'Meat & Three'.
