    One thing I love with roast lamb is Spanakorizo. I've never really followed a recipe, I just kind of winged it one time after tasting it. And it worked. The classic flavours of lemon, dill and green veg is just awesome.

    The amount of veg in this is what makes me love it (normally this would just contain spinach, but everyone loves a good zucchini, right?). The kids loved it too, it would be perfect for a Meat-free Monday dinner.

    If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a bit of a fan of cheese! So this recipe breaks with the norm and slips in some fetta.
