Le Creuset share a flavour-packed lamb recipe perfect for entertaining.
Sweet, tender lamb infused with the flavours of fresh rosemary and caramelised roasted garlic, served with gravy made with the pan juices, sweet garlic pulp, lamb stock and mint sauce. Why not break with tradition and accompany with Yorkshire puddings flavoured with rosemary alongside the vegetables? Cook’s notes: If you would like to make your own mint sauce, combine 3 tbsp of freshly chopped mint with 4 tbsp of white balsamic vinegar and season with a little salt to taste. If a darker gravy is preferred, add a few drops of liquid gravy browning when whisking in the stock.
