Roasted Lamb with Fresh Mint Sauce Recipe

Roasted Lamb with Fresh Mint Sauce

Recipe by Jackie Cameron

As I sit with a cup of tea and the creamiest of cream scones, I reflect on the fact that English food is not thought of as fondly as, let’s say, French and/or Italian cuisine. This seems crazy when you consider everything the English have brought to the table.

Then there’s pork with applesauce and lamb or mutton with fresh mint sauce. I have fond recollections of scrumptious Sunday lunches with the family tucking into typical “English” fare. 

Yields : 4 portions

Ingredients :

2-3 Tomatoes

½  white Onion

40ml finely chopped Fresh Mint

75ml White Wine Vinegar

Salt and Pepper

5 ml White Sugar

Method :

1) Finely chop the tomato, removing all the seeds or centre part of the tomato resulting in about 80g chopped tomatoes

2) Finely chop ½ an onion so yielding about 40g chopped onion

3) Add chopped mint and white wine vinegar

4) Season with salt and pepper and finish with white sugar

Please post your comments and any food-related questions below.

I look forward to hearing from you.
