Ingredients
- Vegetable Oil: 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
- Onion: 2 onions, chopped
- Carrot: 2 carrots, chopped
- Bay Leaf: 2 bay leaves
- Thyme: small bunch thyme
- Potato: boiled new potatoes and watercress salad, to serve
- Breadcrumb: 100g white breadcrumbs
- Lamb: 2 breasts of lamb, skin removed
- White Wine: 1 bottle cheap white wine
- English Mustard: 4 tbsp English mustard
- Garlic: 1 garlic bulb, halved
Directions
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a roasting tin and brown the carrot, onions and garlic on the hob for about 5 mins. Add the thyme and bay leaves, then lay the lamb on top. Pour over the whole bottle of wine and about 350ml water, season well and cover tightly with a sheet of foil. Cook the lamb, undisturbed, for 2 1/2 hrs, then remove from the oven. Leave the lamb to cool slightly before gently pulling out the bones. Pour the juices and veg into a container and chill. Can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and chilled.
- Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay the lamb, skin-side up, in a shallow roasting tin and generously brush with mustard. Pack over the breadcrumbs and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake for 30 mins until the crumbs are toasted and crisp.
- Meanwhile, lift the solid fat off the cold sauce and reheat the sauce on the hob. Lift the lamb onto a board and cut into pieces. Serve with the veg in their sauce, boiled potatoes and a watercress salad.
