Capetown lamb is a recipe from South Africa, that’s perfect for those looking to try something new. The dish is made with a marinade that's packed with big, bold flavors like Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and lemon juice. The combination of these ingredients creates a tangy and slightly sweet flavor with a subtle kick of heat from the red pepper flakes. The lamb is roasted in the marinade until it’s cooked to perfection. The result is a juicy and succulent meat, tender enough to fall off the bone.

1.Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2.Make small slits in the lamb and insert slivers of garlic and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
3.In a bowl, mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, dry mustard, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, sliced scallion, red pepper flakes, coriander, and toasted cumin seeds.

5.Bring the lamb to room temperature. Roast uncovered for approximately 2 hours, basting every 20 minutes with the marinade juices.
