I am staying in on a Friday night...woah. It actually feels good, and Sainsburys was so quiet! Perfect time for me to share a favourite dish of mine. This never fails and everyone loves it. It's a dish that I created and is so easy to make but super tasty if I say so myself! Here are a collection of photos from the different times that I have made it.....recipe below pictures.
Lovely Lamb by Natali.
Either a shoulder, half a shoulder, a leg or a rolled shoulder of lovely lamb
tin of chopped tomatoes
tin of cherry tomatoes
baby tomatoes on the vine
kalamata olives
whole bulb of garlic
good quality chorizo
bunch of rosemary
generous amount of virgin olive oil
salad
crusty loaf of bread
The quantities are rough just depends on the size of your dish and the size of you lamb. Chop the chorizo and layer it on the base of a large oven proof dish, just layer the area where the lamb will sit. Lay the sprigs of rosemary on top of the chorizo and then put the cut of lamb on top of the layers. Rub malden salt on the top of the lamb. Tip the tins of tomatoes around the lamb evenly, scatter some olives and peeled garlic cloves and try to mix into the tomatoes. Place the vine tomatoes on either side of the lamb. Season really well and pour some olive oil around the mix. Pop into a preheated oven at about 150 for 3-4 hours or slower at a lower heat, if it looks like its getting dry then cover with some foil.
Serve with some leaves. Pull the bread apart and dunk into to the deliciously rich tomato sauce. Perfect recipe for a lazy weekend.
