LAMB T-BONES WITH WATERCRESS SALAD AND POTATO-FONTINA FONDUTA

Steps:

• Make the lamb: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, curry powder, honey, chile paste, garlic, mustard, and rosemary. Place lamb in a baking dish; pour olive oil mixture over lamb. Turn to coat. Cover and transfer to refrigerator; let marinate overnight.
• Make the salad: Place carrot and onion in a medium bowl; add enough vinegar to cover; cover and transfer to refrigerator. Let marinate overnight.
• Make the potatoes: Place potatoes in a medium saucepan. Add heavy cream and wine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid, and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove lamb from marinade, wiping off excess; season with salt and pepper. Place lamb chops on grill, fat side down and cook, turning on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer lamb to a baking sheet and transfer to oven; bake until medium-rare, about 6 minutes.
• Drain carrot and onion and transfer to a medium bowl. Add watercress and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and toss to combine.
• Pass potatoes through a food mill into a medium saucepan and some of the reserved cooking liquid and place over medium-high heat. Add both cheese and cook, stirring, until cheese is melted and potatoes are warmed through. If potato mixture seems too thick, thin out with a little chicken stock.
• To serve, divide potatoes evenly among 6 to 8 plates; top each plate salad and 2 lamb chops; serve.

LAMB WITH WARM POTATO & OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling, lightly salted water for 10-12 mins, then drain and transfer to a baking sheet to cool.
• Now prepare the lamb. Mix the yogurt with the olive oil and some sea salt to taste. Rub the lamb loin with the yogurt mixture - make sure to cover all sides. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat an ovenproof sauté pan and add the rapeseed oil. Sear the lamb on all sides until dark golden brown, then cook in the oven for 7-10 mins or until medium-rare. Remove and leave to rest for 5 mins.
• To finish the potato salad, cut the cooled potatoes into thick slices. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the potato slices and fry for 10 mins or until golden brown. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, mix with the olives, yogurt and vinegar, and add salt to taste. Serve warm with the sliced lamb loin and the leaves.
