ROAST LEG OF WELSH LAMB WITH GINGER, HONEY, CIDER AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat the oven 375°F/190°C.
• Cut the ginger into slivers.
• Using a sharp knife, make small cuts in the leg of lamb and insert the ginger and rosemary.
• Mix the butter and honey together and spread this over the lamb.
• Put in a roasting tin, pour in half of the cider and cover loosely with foil.
• Roast in the oven allowing 25 minutes per pound.
• When three-quarters cooked, remove the foil and continue cooking, basting frequently with the juices from the roasting tin, adding more cider if necessary.
• Remove the joint from the oven, lift out of the pan, removing any excess fat, and pour in the rest of the cider to deglaze the pan.

• A well seasoned mixed mash of carrot, parsnip, turnip and potatoes tastes perfect with the roast leg of 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 STEAKS WITH REDCURRANT GLAZE RECIPE

Steps:

• Reserve the tips of the rosmary and chop the remaining leaves. Rub the chopped rosemary, salt and pepper all over the lamb. Preheat the grill. Heat the redcurrant jelly gently in a small pan with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir in the vinegar. Place the steaks on a foil lined grill rack and brush with a little of the redcurrant glaze. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until deep golden, brushing with more glaze. Transfer the lamb to warmed plates. Tip any juices from the foil into the remaining glaze and heat through. Pour the glaze over the lamb and serve, garnished with the reserved rosemary.
