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.

Done.
 
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.
 
that looks stunnin, given me idea mind you because i normally do this with chicken breat stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon, ill tie it now, but i do usally boil it for 5 minutes so it holds it shape in the cling film. Then remove cling film and fry with knob of butter


I like to stuff chiken breast with mozzarella and basil.
 
how to you get it to hold its shape? i had real problems getting it to role. I found keeping it in the fridge for 12hrs + helps then like mentioned boiling it for 5 mins before taking cling film off and frying. Ill deffos try wrapping it in rope.

I just rolled it as tight as I could, tied up and slung it in the fridge for a hour.

I didn't cut straight away, it rested for about 10 minutes in the pan before I cut the string off.

If you look at the Ramsey version he had a larger flap of fat that tottaly wrapped the saddle, I trimmed mine a little to short which meant it did give a little more than I would have liked it too.
 
Dumb question comming up! you rolled it tight, and tied it with cling film on? because when i roll it tight as possible, then remove cling film it falls apart :confused:

When I rolled it I only used the cling film to get it started, I finished it without rolling it in the rest of the cling film if that makes sense and just help it in place while I tied it.
