Lamb Crown Roast With A Melody Of Baby Vegetables


Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lamb crown, approx 1.5kg
  • 2 table spoons of salt
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped thyme
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 punnet of baby carrots
  • 1 punnet of baby turnips
  • 1 punnet of baby beetroot
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 25g of butter
  • 200ml water

RED WINE SAUCE

  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil
  • 1 shallot chopped fine
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 300ml Port
  • 600ml beef stock

Method

  1. Take the lamb crown and place on a roasting tray. In a food processor blitz together the, salt, garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, pepper and oil and then rub it all over the lamb. Place in a hot oven (180oC) for 30 minutes. If the cutlet bones start to darken, wrap each one with a piece of tin foil to stop them burning. When cooled remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the vegetables by trimming and carefully peeling them. Poach each type of vegetable separately in the sugar, butter and water until tender – leave the beetroot until last otherwise it will taint the colour of all the other vegetables.
  3. For the red wine sauce heat the olive oil in a pan and sweat off the shallot and garlic for 3 minutes to release the flavour, add the port and reduce until you have 4 tablespoons left in the pan, add the beef stock and reduce again until you reach a nice sauce consistency. Season to taste, possibly adding extra chopped rosemary if desired.
  4. When ready to serve, place the lamb on a nice platter, scatter with the baby vegetables and pour around the sauce, keep some sauce aside to pour on individual plates after serving.
