Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 90°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
- Place one tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan and heat.
- Seal the racks of lamb on both sides. Remove from the heat and place in a roasting tray.
- Mix the breadcrumbs and chopped herbs together with a little sea salt and black pepper. Spread each rack with 1 teaspoon of mustard and press plenty of the breadcrumb mix onto each rack. Mix the melted butter and the remaining olive oil and drizzle over the herb-crusted meat.
- Place in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes then turn the heat down to 170ºC/325°F/Gas Mark 3 and cook for a further 5-6 minutes. Allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes before serving with the pea sauce.
- For the sauce, melt the butter in a frying pan and add the shallots. Fry for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat then add the frozen peas and coat in the butter and shallot mixture. Add the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes, remove from the heat and add the chopped mint and the double cream. Place into a bowl and blend until chunky. Return to the pan and boil rapidly for a further minute to reduce any excess liquid.
- To serve, arrange a bed of sauce on four plates and top with the racks of lamb.
Serving tip
The less water you use when cooking peas, the less vitamin C is lost. Steaming helps to conserve this vitamin. When boiling frozen peas, add enough water to cover, bring to the boil and then cover and simmer for 3 minutes. To microwave 227 grams (8oz) of frozen peas add 15ml (1 tablespoon) of water, place in a non metallic container and cover. Cook on full power for 4 minutes (750W) or 4 1/2 minutes (650W)
