Halloween is one of the most well known and celebrated autumn holidays, celebrated world wide in many different ways, whilst some of us will be taking our children trick'or'treating, some of us will be staying at home to answer the door to trick'or'treaters, some will be throwing a party and some won't be celebrating what so ever.
What ever you're doing this Halloween, Mark's and Spencers, otherwise known as M&S have created this beautiful lamb recipe to serve up this autumn, and I just knew I had to share it with you all.
Herb, Olive and Mustard-Crusted Rack of Lamb.
Ready in 45 minutes, Serves 2
Ingredients:
· 380g pack Rosemary Potatoes
· 25g sourdough pavé bread
· 25g Greek Olives with Oregano, finely chopped
· 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
· 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
· 1 tbsp olive oil
· 1 x 330g French-trimmed rack of lamb
· 1 tsp Dijon mustard
· 200g Boston beans or fine green beans
Method:
1. Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 (180°C for fan ovens). Cook the potatoes according to the packet instructions.
2. Put the bread in a food processor and pulse to form rough crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and stir in the chopped olives, thyme and parsley, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the lamb. Cook over a high heat until browned all over, then transfer to a board. Remove any excess oil with kitchen paper.
4. Spread the mustard over the lamb and press the crumb mixture on top. Put the lamb in a small roasting tin and roast for 25 minutes. Transfer to a board and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the beans in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, until just tender.
5. Divide the potatoes and beans between 2 plates, then slice the lamb into cutlets to serve.
