Introduction
Here's my take on a restaurant classic, lamb rump taken from the hind legs. Simply roasted & finished with rosemary-scented butter before carving & sitting on a pool of tender haricot beans before drizzling with a fresh & zingy green sauce.Method
- Remove your lamb from the packaging & bring to room temperature.
- Preheat a heavy based frying pan over a medium heat.
- Season the lamb with sea salt & a splash of olive oil.
- Place the lamb on the fat to render before searing all over then transfer to a pre heated oven 200°C /180°C fan assisted (gas 6) for 12 to 15 minutes.
- To finish add a knob of butter, garlic & rosemary to the pan & baste the meat for a couple of minutes.
- It should have a slight spring to touch & a core temperature of 52°C before placing it on a resting tray for medium rare.
- Leave to rest in a warm place for half the cooking time before carving.
Method for salsa verde
- Soak the diced shallot in vinegar for 30 minutes or so.
- Chop the herbs finely then add anchovy, garlic & capers & chop through herbs.
- Add the shallots in vinegar & oil to the herbs & mix together well.
- Season with black pepper.
