6. Heat a cast pan or griddle.

7. Sear lamb on all sides.

8. Press the crumb mixture over one side to form a crust.

9. Sit the lamb in a roasting tin, crust side up, and roast in the pre-heated oven at 240ºc / 457ºf / Gas Mark 8 for 4 - 5 minutes(longer - later in the season when lamb is older).

Spring Onion Pommes Anna

11. Preheat oven to 200ºc / 400ºf / Gas Mark 6.

12. Peel and thinly slice potatoes - use a mandolin if you have one. Melt butter.

13. To make 4 small Annas set four ring cutters on a baking tray. Dip potato slices and chopped spring onions in the melted butter and build up layers within rings. Season layers lightly and push each down firmly with back of a fork or spoon, or a ramekin slightly smaller that the cutter.

14. Brush with any remaining butter. Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes, until potatoes are cooked through and Annas are golden brown. Test with a skewer.

15. Push potatoes through mould and invert onto serving dish. The undersides of the Annas will be the smoothest and most attractive.

Serving
