Ingredients
Method
In advance:
Marinade the lamb rumps in Rosemary – garlic – mint - thyme – lemon for 12 hours.
The cooking:
Pan roast the rump on both sides with a little rapeseed oil until the top fat is golden brown and caramelised.
Add carrots, seasoning, baste with pan flavours, place into an oven at 180c for 10minutes and rest for a further 10 minutes when cooked.
Drizzle with honey for extra sweetness. Slice rump into three to expose delicious pink lamb.
Potatoes and Vegetables:
Cut the potatoes into thick discs and triple cook, firstly through lamb stock for 5 minutes and then patting dry, coat in a dusting of polenta and pan fry in rapeseed oil and a little butter until golden and crispy.
Finish in the oven for about 10 minutes at 180c. Place the vegetables through salted boiling water for 2 minutes and refresh in iced water to stop the cooking process.
Reheat in glazed butter before you are ready to serve.
Sauce and Serve:
Dissolve lamb jelly and serve over lamb. Squeeze a little lemon over pea shoots and serve on plate and an extra texture and crunch.
Rob's tips....
Add some minted pea puree for extra creamy flavours.
