It was called Easter Lamb. Layers of potatoes, lamb, pecorino, parmesan, tomatoes, crushed garlic and parsley. What's not to like..... apart from gout!

Thanks.

Cooked that the other evening for the neighbours. They were seriously impressed!
Might have to do it again soon.

Will have a go at this. Found the recipe.
Maybe serve with a simply dressed salad on the side?

Boneless leg lamb 1.25kg ..cut into small cubes
5tbsp EV olive oil
750 ..800gm peeled floury pots cut into 5mm thick slices
375gm small tomatoes halved
Handful of flat leaf parsely
3 large cloves garlic chopped
50g grated pecorino
50gm grated parmesan
Salt & ground black Pepper
Preheat oven to 180C

In a casserole dish 2 tbspns olive oil. Spread one third of the pots over, season, then scatter half the meat over ..season Remove seeds from toms . Scatter half the toms, parsley and garlic over the lamb, season .Then half the cheeses and another tbsp olive oil. Season .Then another third of the pots ,rest of the meat and the rest of the toms,garlic etc Cover with the remaining pots season again sprinkle more cheese on top and the rest of the olive oil .
Cover and bake for 30 mins Then uncover and bake for about an hour until the lamb and pots are tender and it has a cheesy crust .

Pretty much what I did, however I cooked it covered for about 3 hrs and 30 mins uncovered to brown off with an extra sprinkle of parmesan. I like the lamb to be really soft!

I seen this on an old episode of Rick Steins Mediterranean Escape, an old lady cooked it in Puglia. Finally got round to giving it a go tonight.

Tried this last night, very nice indeed. I think I would put a cup of stock in with it next time.

I would have thought most sausages would have quite a lot of carbs (unless they were extra meaty ones?)

True, this meal won't be zero, but I do check everything before buying. It won't be much. There is always some in the green stuff, too.

Had some friends over yesterday for lunch so decided to cook the 3 course meal I didn't get round to do valentines day as I was took hungover from Friday night to cook!

Bacon and cheese tart for starter. (yes I forgot to trim the pastry)


Braised breast of Lamb with roasted potato mash, yorkshire, kale and carrots.


Warm chocolate brownies for for desert but forgot a picture of them.

Thought it was used as an oven cloth...until I spotted a real thing by the oven.

The Tea towel is actually light brown and wasn't originally white just to clear things up.

I'm a powerfully built (non) director, this is pistonheads don't you know!
