1. Pre-heat oven to 200 degs. Rub lamb racks generously with combined CHEF® Lamb Liquid Concentrate and mint jelly, season well. Arrange in a single layer in a lined roasting tray and cook for 20-25 minutes or until cooked to required doneness. Allow to rest before slicing.
2. For the Jus, heat olive oil in a large saucepan and sauté celery, carrot, onion, garlic, until
caramelised, add tomatoes, mint leaves and lamb stock and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain
and add port wine jelly and reduce until syrupy (alternatively thicken with arrowroot or
cornflour) season to taste and keep warm.
3. Meanwhile, cook parsnip and potatoes in plenty of boiling salted water until tender. Add peas
and simmer 1 minute then drain well and puree together with butter and seasoning until
smooth.
4. Cook prosciutto slices in a single layer under the grill for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden.
5. Serve lamb sliced into cutlets with parsnip and pea puree, and a scatter of peas and shoots.
6. Finish with a drizzle of jus and a prosciutto shard.
- Try this dish with kumara and ginger mash or roasted baby vegetables
- Add a crust to the lamb racks – simply sprinkle with pine nut crumbs over the lamb glaze
- For extra richness - finish the plate with a few droplets of just the CHEF® Lamb Liquid Concentrate
