LAMB CHOPS WITH REDCURRANT SAUCE AND SAUTé POTATOES

Steps:

• In a saucepan on low heat, mix together the redcurrant jelly and red wine vinegar. Chop up the garlic and rosemary and add them to the sauce.

Cover with cling film and leave aside for an hour.
• Half an hour before you are ready to serve, peel the potatoes and slice them up into pieces around 1cm thick. Put them in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes or until soft. When they are finished, strain the potatoes and fry in oil for 5-10 minutes on either side, ensuring that they are brown and crispy. You can now either put them on a plate under tinfoil or put them in a warm oven until they are needed to be served.

Heat up the griddle with olive oil until hot and sear the lamb chops on either side to your liking. Meanwhile pour the sauce back into the saucepan, add a couple of handfuls of redcurrants, and heat it up to be served.
• Once everything is cooked and prepared; remove the potatoes from the oven and serve with the sticky lamb chops, redcurrant sauce and green vegetables.
