Ingredients

  • 4 lamb noisettes, cutlets or chops
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped rosemary leaves
  • For the Relish:

  • 6 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 40g caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2-3 fresh rhubarb, roughly chopped

Method

  1. Place the lamb in a large bowl with half the oil, rosemary and seasoning. Toss gently. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C Fan, Gas Mark 6.
  2. Meanwhile to prepare the relish, heat the remaining oil in a medium non-stick pan. Add the shallots and garlic.  Reduce the heat and simmer on a low heat, stirring occasionally for 8-10 minutes until the onions are soft.  Add the sugar, vinegar and rhubarb and cook uncovered for a further 10-15 minutes. Preheat a medium sized roasting tin in the oven.
  3. Heat a clean non-stick pan and sear the lamb for 2-3 minutes on both sides until brown. Roast in the oven for a further 8-10 minutes.
  4. Arrange the lamb on a plate and serve with creamy herb mash and a spoonful of the relish.
