GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Mix the olive oil, mint, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste in a bowl. Rub the lamb chops all over with the garlic. Transfer a few tablespoons of the mint oil to a small bowl and brush on the chops.
• Grill the chops until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Press the middle of a chop with your finger: It should be slightly firm with a little give for medium-rare doneness.) Transfer to a platter and brush with some of the remaining mint oil. Sprinkle with mint and serve with more mint oil.

LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spice rub and lamb: Stir together the salt, pepper, coriander, cayenne and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season the lamb chops on both sides with the spice rub. Allow to sit at room temperature while you make the mint sauce.
• For the mint sauce: In a food processor, add the mint, parsley, anchovies, garlic and some red pepper flakes. Process, adding olive oil as you go, until the sauce is just loose enough to drizzle. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Heat a grill pan or grill on medium-high heat. Oil the grill and pat the chops dry. Grill the lamb until done to your liking, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with the mint sauce and Baked Sweet Potato with Sour Cream and Mint.
• Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and microwave on high according to the manufacturer's instructions until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.

BBQ MINTY GARLIC LAMB

Remove the lamb from the marinade and lay on the barbecue. Cook for 3-4 mins each side or until just cooked through. Serve with a tomato salad and pitta breads.

SLOW COOKED LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Heat oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½. Put your largest lidded casserole on the hob and brown the seasoned leg of lamb on all sides - do this very thoroughly until it is a good dark brown as it will not brown during the cooking. (If you don't do it now, it will end up beige.) If the lamb sticks, add a drizzle of oil - legs of lamb differ. Allow 10 mins on a high heat and put on the cooker fan to remove the smoke. Pour away any fat that has collected in the bottom of the pan.
• Throw in the vegetables, followed by the wine and stock. Season and bring to the boil, then clap on the lid and put in the oven. Bake for 7 hrs, turning twice. After 5 hrs the meat will be cooked and offer no resistance to the knife.
• There is no need to rest the meat when cooked in this way, but to finish the sauce, transfer the meat and vegetables to a serving dish. Strain the sauce into a jug and pour or blot away the fat with kitchen paper. Pour the sauce into a pan then boil the liquid hard to reduce by a quarter, by which time it will be rich and flavoursome. Adjust seasoning, add the Armagnac if you wish, and serve alongside the lamb, which should be served with a spoon, a la cuillère as the French call it.

EASY SLOW COOKER LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the slow cooker if you need to. Season the lamb, then brown it in batches for 5-8 mins using a little oil for each batch. Transfer each batch of lamb to the slow cooker.
• Put the onions in a frying pan with a little more oil and fry, stirring, for around 10 mins until tender. Stir in the garlic, ginger, spices, chilli and tomato purée and fry together for 1 min more. Add everything to the slow cooker.
• Pour 200ml boiling water into the slow cooker and mix everything well. Cook on a low heat for at least 6 hrs.
• After at least 6 hrs of cooking, add the yogurt and stir well. Replace the lid and cook for a further ½ to 1 hrs on low. Don't worry if the sauce splits a little, just stir well before serving. Once cooked, scatter over the coriander and flaked almonds and serve with the rice.
