Minted Pea Puree with Lamp Chops
Boy, I love Lamb! The combination of mint and lamb is possibly my favourite combination in the world.
Serves 4
4 tsp caster sugar
500g peas podded
2 tbsp sunflower oil
8 lamb chops
½ bunch of mint leaves
6 tbsp double cream
8 tbsp white wine vinegar
Boiled potatoes, to serve
Bring a pan of unsalted water to boil. Add half the sugar and the peas, and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Drain.
Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the chops. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on size and how you like them.
Meanwhile, put the peas in a clean pan and blitz with a hand-held blender. Add the mint and blitz again. Put the pea on a low heat and stir in the cream. Stir in the rest of the sugar and the vinegar.
Serve the pea puree with the chops and some boiled potatoes.
