what to serve with 8 hour lamb??

[sloane]

i'm making an 8 hour lamb dish for a friend on saturday - it's a recipe from a little booklet that came with delicious magazine a while ago. it has middle eastern flavours - chermoula, honey & saffron. the suggestion is to serve it with a butter bean hummus, which i'm planning to do but i'm wondering whether or not to serve some vegetables or salad?

i was thinking of serving it with some sort of bread - flat bread probably. would you just make some sort of green salad? decisions!

Maybe a tabouli or fattoush? Sounds yum!!

Oh yum....yum. Did I say yum?!

Maybe some baby potatoes? Steamed or roasted. Or some asparagus and green beans. Or a bean salad? Kalyn's Kitchen: Recipe for Middle Eastern Bean Salad with Parsley and Lemon (Balela)

Have you ever tried afghan bread. It would be awsome with that because it soaks juices really well.
Maybe a cous-cous and roast vege salad with some green beans and chickpeas in it?

Oooh tabouli (sp?) sounds good. I was going to suggest some couscous with some yummy vegetables. I often throw some mushrooms, capsicum, zuchini and red onion into a fry pan, then toss in some snow peas at the last minute then serve with couscous and lamb.

Our safeway does this fantastic garlic Afghani bread - it's delish - in the fresh bread section.

oh yum - all the suggestions sound delish!! i want to try them all

n2l - i'll post the recipe later when DS is napping (and not flicking through the recipe booklet while on my lap )

now i'm trying to decide whether to follow the recipe & cook in the oven or whether to use the slow cooker. but i'm thinking i may actually follow a recipe for once
