Gordon Ramsay's new season's lamb with crushed peas

People don't generally think of poaching a lamb, but I find it's a really good way to cook this pink, delicate meat and ensure a succulent, flavourful result, particularly if you add lots of aromatics to the cooking liquor as I do.

Dish Details:


INGREDIENTS:

4 rumps of new season's lamb, about 140g each, trimmed
800ml chicken stock
few thyme springs
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp coriander seeds
300g fresh peas (or frozen and thawed)
generous drizzle of olive oil
2 tbsp chopped oregano, plus extra leaves to garnish
sea salt and black pepper
extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle


PREPARATION:
1. Place the lamb rumps in a cooking pot or heavy-based pan with the stock, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns and coriander seeds. Bring just to the boil, then immediately turn down the heat and summer for 8 minutes.

2. In the meantime, if using fresh peas, add to a pan of boiling eater and blanch for 2-3 minutes, depending on size. Drain well. Tip the blanched (or thawed, frozen) peas into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds to crush slightly.

3. Remove the lamb from the poaching liquid to a warm plate and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

4. Tip the crushed peas into a pan and add a generous drizzle of olive oil, the chopped oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Warm through briefly over a medium heat, stirring frequently.

5. Spoon the peas on to warm serving plates (into a metal ring if you want to shape a neat circle). Slice the lamb into thick piecers and arrange on top. Scatter over a few oregano leaves and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper to serve.
