Spice-crusted Lamb with Crushed New Potatoes
- 1 tbsp each ground cumin and coriander
- 4 x 200g lamb rump steaks
- 2 long shallots, halved lengthwise
- 500g new potatoes
- 2 chopped spring onions
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1 tbsp capers
- Small bunch of mint leaves, chopped
- Olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 220C. Mix the spices with a pinch of salt, then rub all over the lamb to coat. Heat a large frying pan and sizzle the lamb - fatty side down - for 5 mins, then flip over and add the shallots to the pan. Transfer to the oven and roast for 10 mins, then remove and leave to stand for 5 mins. Meanwhile, simmer the potatoes for 10 mins, then drain and lightly crush. Mix in the spring onions, lemon zest and some seasoning.
- Remove the lamb and shallots from the pan and stir the capers, mint, lemon juice and some olive oil into the pan juices. Slice the lamb, spoon onto plates with the shallots and potatoes, then drizzle with the pan juice mixture to serve.
