Sophie's brother Luke loves lamb, the bloodier the better. He was up in arms that there wasn't a lamb recipe in the book. So although Sophie doesn't eat lamb, she added this for him in all its juicy, crusted glory, and for all lamb-loving-carnivores out there.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

2 Three-racks of lamb
1 drizzle Olive oil, plus 2 tbspns for the sweet potatoes
1 Egg white
2 tbsp Ground almonds
1 Garlic clove, peeled and chopped
½ tsp Ground cumin
1 Handful Fresh mint, finely chopped
1 Handful Fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 Handfuls Fresh coriander, finely chopped
2 Medium sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fat chunks

Method

Step 1

First, brown the lamb in a searing hot pan with a little bit of olive oil. You just want to seal the juices in, so literally brown it for just a few minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 190ºC/170ºC fan/Gas 5.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and add the ground almonds, garlic, cumin and the herbs. Mix well and then pat on top of the lamb, making sure it is properly covered.

Step 4

You want to put the sweet potatoes in the oven about 25 minutes before the lamb, in a roasting tray, covered with the rosemary and some splashes of olive oil.

Step 5

When they have done their time, add the lamb to the oven in a separate tray next to the sweet potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, less if you like it really rare. The sweet potatoes should be done at exactly the same time as the lamb if you time it like this.
