Preparation

Step 1: Roast Your Lamb

Place the lamb rumps on a roasting tray and cook in the oven until they are done. For the best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.

Step 2: Prepare The Mashed Potatoes

While your lamb is cooking, peel and chop your potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place in a large pan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife.

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pan. Add the butter and warm milk or cream, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season generously with salt and white pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Step 3: Cook Your Seasonal Vegetables

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add your carrots and cook until just tender. Add the green beans and peas for the final few minutes of cooking. Drain well, toss with a knob of butter and some freshly chopped mint if desired. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Make The Gravy

In a small saucepan, heat your lamb or vegetable stock with a sprig of fresh rosemary. In a separate small bowl, mix the flour with a little cold water to create a smooth paste. Whisk this into the simmering stock and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens. Stir in the redcurrant jelly for extra depth and sweetness that complements the mint beautifully. Strain and keep warm.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

Once your lamb rumps are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. This ensures the meat stays tender and juicy.

Plate up your creamy mashed potatoes, arrange your seasonal vegetables alongside, and place the mint-glazed lamb rumps on top. Pour over the rich gravy and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips For Success

Resting is Key: Never skip the resting stage. Those few minutes allow the juices to redistribute through the meat, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavour in every bite.

Quality Matters: Our mint-glazed lamb rumps are expertly prepared with the perfect balance of flavours, so there's no need to add extra seasoning. Simply cook and enjoy!

Make it Your Own: While this recipe uses traditional accompaniments, feel free to swap the vegetables for your family favourites. Roasted root vegetables, tenderstem broccoli, or even a fresh garden salad all work beautifully.
