Ingredients

  • or baby carrots 150g Chantenay
  • avocado oil
  • 1 sprig rosemary, chopped
  • garlic salt
  • 2-3 depending on size (Percy’s uses Choggia Barbietola) beetroot
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled (Percy’s uses red-skinned Rooster potatoes)
  • a couple of sprigs thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed with the flat blade of a knife butter
  • (ask your butcher for some) oil or lamb fat
  • 350g lamb rump
  • 200g sprouting broccoli, steamed
  • flat-leaf parsley
  • rosemary

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oven to 200c/fan 180c/gas 6. Boil the carrots for 5-10 minutes, depending on their size, drain, put on a roasting tray, drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary, garlic salt and black pepper.

  • STEP 2

    Simmer the beetroot until almost tender, drain, peel and halve, leaving the tail of the beetroot intact. Put on the tray with the carrots and roast for 10- 15 minutes until lightly browned.

  • STEP 3

    Simmer the potatoes with the thyme and garlic until tender. Mash with a knob of butter, season and keep warm.

  • STEP 4

    Heat a little lamb fat or oil in a wok or small deep pan. When hot, add the lamb. Brown evenly for 2 minutes on both sides then transfer to a roasting tray. Leave to rest for 8 minutes.
    Turn the lamb over and put in the oven for 4 minutes. Take out of the oven, turn over and rest for 8 minutes. Turn over and put in the oven for 4 minutes. Take out of the oven, turn over and rest for 12 minutes.
    Test the core temperature with a meat thermometer – if it isn’t 49c, keep cooking and resting until it is (take the temperature after resting). This will be rare, keep cooking for medium.

  • STEP 5

    Carve and serve with the accompaniments.
