HUMMUS WITH LAMB

LAMB STEAKS WITH CRISPY POTATOES & MINTED BEANS

Steps:

• Mix the balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp olive oil and rosemary together in a bowl. Add the lamb steak, ensuring that it is completely covered in the marinade, and set aside.
• Boil the potatoes until tender. Lift out of the pan with a slotted spoon, keeping the pan of water simmering. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a frying pan, add the potatoes and garlic, and fry gently until golden.
• Sprinkle a little salt over the potatoes, then push to the side of the pan. Remove the garlic. Season the lamb and fry alongside the potatoes for 1-2 mins each side, depending on the thickness of your steak. Remove the lamb and potatoes and leave to rest in a warm place.
• Keep the pan on the heat and add the stock. Bring to the boil, scraping any sticky bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it bubble until reduced by half. Stir through the redcurrant jelly until melted. Taste and season, adding a dash of balsamic vinegar if it is too sweet.
• Meanwhile, blanch the beans in the simmering water for 3 mins, then drain. Return to the pan and stir through the butter, mint and seasoning.
• Serve the lamb with the potatoes and beans, and the sauce spooned over.

LAMB CHOPS WITH HUMMUS & ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Mix the oil and garlic together, then rub half over the lamb chops. Season well, then set aside to marinate. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
• Put the tomatoes on a baking tray, then drizzle over the remaining oil mixture and season. Cook for 8-10 mins until soft, adding the pine nuts for the final 2-3 mins to toast.
• Make the hummus by blitzing all the ingredients together with 2-3 tbsp water until smooth.
• Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat and cook the lamb for 4-5 mins on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Hold the fatty side of the meat against the pan for 2-3 mins until crisp. Cover and set aside to rest for 5 mins.
• Spread the hummus over a platter or four plates and top with the tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, the lamb and watercress. Scatter over the olives, pine nuts, feta and mint, and serve with the flatbreads.

LAMB STEAKS WITH ROSEMARY SWEET POTATOES

Brush the steaks with the mustard, scatter with remaining rosemary and roast everything for 20 mins until the potatoes are softened and the lamb cooked.

CUMIN LAMB STEAKS WITH SMASHED POTATOES, WILTED SPINACH AND RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the aroma of the garlic has mellowed. Add the brown sugar and red wine, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat, cover, and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, season the lamb steaks with salt and pepper to taste. Press the cumin seeds into the steaks on both sides. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks, and cook on both sides until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Remove the steaks to rest in a warm spot. Place the spinach into the hot skillet, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook until the spinach has wilted.
• Mash the potatoes with the sour cream and butter; season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, mound a serving of mashed potatoes onto the center of a dinner plate. Top with the spinach and a lamb steak. Strain the red wine sauce overtop.
