Method<br />

Lamb<br />

Switch the oven on to 180°C.<br />

Ingredients<br />

Lamb<br />

6 x 8oz Lamb Noisette<br />

1 pint beef stock<br />

Rough cut vegetables<br />

(onion, garlic, celery,<br />

carrot and leek)<br />

½ pint red wine<br />

Redcurrant jelly<br />

Dauphinoise<br />

8 sliced potatoes<br />

500ml double cream<br />

500ml milk<br />

50g block of butter<br />

100g grated Gruyere<br />

Glazed vegetables<br />

6 mini turnips<br />

6 mini carrots<br />

6 baby sweet corn<br />

200g spinach<br />

Heat a little oil in a pan, then add the lamb and<br />

cook until it is dark brown on the outside.<br />

Transfer to a deep roasting tray with<br />

the mire poix (the rough cut vegetables) and cover<br />

with the red wine and stock. Braise in the oven for<br />

up to three hours or until the lamb is tender.<br />

Remove from the oven and allow to cool.<br />

Strain the stock to use for the Jus.<br />

Jus<br />

Add the strained stock into a heavy<br />

bottomed pan.<br />

Place on a high heat and add a little redcurrant<br />

jelly, and reduce until it coats the back of a spoon.<br />

Then pass through a fine sieve and set aside<br />

Dauphinoise<br />

Boil the cream, milk and butter in a pan until<br />

the liquid is reduced by about a quarter.<br />

Thinly slice the potatoes.<br />

Once the liquid is cooled, add the potatoes and<br />

give them a good coating before layering them<br />

in an oven proof dish.<br />

Cover with tin foil and cook in the oven<br />

on 180°C degrees until tender.<br />

For the last 10 minutes of cooking time, remove<br />

the foil and add the grated Gruyere. Return to the<br />

oven until golden.<br />

Cover with foil and place a heavy object on the<br />

top to press the potato dish down, then cut into<br />

small squares.<br />

Blanch the vegetables and refresh.<br />

Plate up, serve and savour!<br />
