Well here is my first cooking thread shamelessly copied from the good Mr Ramsey.

Saddle of Lamb with apricot, sage, cumin and pine nut stuffing.
Pomme Purée
Honey glazed carrots.

To make the stuffing.

Toast some cumin seeds in a dry pan, then grind in a mortar and pestle.
Toast some pine nuts in a dry pan.
In a blender, add 50g dried apricots, 25g breadcrumbs, the pine nuts, cumin and a slug of olive and blitz into a rough paste.

Take the saddle of lamb, lay it skin side down and place the sage leaves over the meat.

Take the stuffing mix and cover the lamb, place the extra fillet on top of the stuffing.

Take a large piece of cling film, and lay enough Parma ham down to wrap the meat.

Place the meat on the Parma ham and roll the meat to form a sausage like parcel and tie in sections.

To make the Pomme Purée

Peel and boil some potatoes, drain and place back into the pan to dry for a couple of minutes.

Pass the potato through a sieve, add butter and milk to taste, season.

Fiannally the honey glazed carrots.

Boil some baby carrots, drain and place in a pan, add a nob of butter coating the carrots. Add a couple of teaspoons of honey, enough to coat the carrots, toss in the pan for a couple of minutes.

Finally plate up.

Done.
 
Quick few questions, how much does Saddle of Lamb cost, does it taste good, does it come as thin as it is n those pics or did you cut it. Think you could fry it?

Looks like it could be a nice change from bacon for a deliciously decadent breakfast.
 
There was a sauce I de glazed the pan and drizzled it over the lamb.

The wife was getting hungry so I didn't take the last picture!

I paid £14 for the lamb, saying that it was organic lamb that my local butcher sources locally.

It is a very tender cut of lamb.
 
Took me a while to realise Slimwagh was your name, and not an ingredient :p

Looks tasty, and seems like a pretty classic Ramsey recipe :p

Took my joke :( I was going to say I'm well up for trying this recipe, but where do I buy Slimwagh. I hate you Carzy. Hate. ;)
 
Meat + wooden chopping board = DEATH!

Well maybe, seriously you should only use a plastic board for meat as you can wash it thoroughly, e.g dish washer.

I know butchers use em, but thats all they use em for. Looks nice though, might have to try it at the weekend :D
