Hot mint and caper sauce
I saw Jamie Oliver do this on his Jamie at home series. It's a wonderful accompaniment for lamb, but does rely very heavily on using the juices from roasting the lamb, so do bear this in mind. You can follow the Hot Mint and Caper Sauce recipe, it's part of Jamie Oliver's 4 hour slow roast lamb or you can use the directions here.
