Method

Salad
1

Get your potatoes on to boil and once soft, drain and mash. Set aside for later.

2

Bring a non-stick fry pan to medium high heat. Add the broccolini in and sear on high heat for a few minutes until tender but still crisp.

3

In a large bowl, tear the kale into bite sized pieces. Mix through two teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt.

4

Gently massage the kale until well coated and beginning to soften. Add the broccolini and walnuts, tossing everything together until well combined.

5

Blitz the salad dressing ingredients together and toss through.

Lamb chops
1

Toss together lamb chops in a large bowl with half the garlic, the leaves from one thyme sprig, a generous drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.

2

Cook the lamb in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

3

Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the stock and cream bringing them to the boil.

4

Once bubbling, add wholegrain mustard, the remaining garlic and remaining thyme sprigs.

5

Return the lamb chops back into the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes or until heated through and cooked to your liking.

6

Serve with a little mash, a pile of kale and broccolini with the lamb chops over the top.

Easy swaps:

  • We've used lamb loin chops, but these are delicious with lamb shoulder chops too. Just make sure they're lean and trimmed of excess fat.
  • Wholegrain mustard is family friendly, but if your family prefers, Dijon mustard is equally as lovely.
  • Thyme is a favourite, but we've used rosemary and sage as well - they're great so do give them a go!
