Panfried lamb shortloin with greens and greek lemon sauce

Lamb

Tbsp oregano

½ tsp Cracked black pepper

Garlic cloves, squashed

Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

500 ml Chicken stock

Lemon juice, fresh

broccoli

g Snow peas, stalk ends cut off (Main)

Spinach leaves (Main)

Lemon, zest only

servings Steamed rice

Put the lamb into a large bowl and add the oregano, pepper, garlic and oil. Mix well and leave to marinate for 1 hour.

Bring the stock to a very gentle simmer in a saucepan.

Put the egg yolks and lemon juice into a roomy heatproof bowl and beat well. Reserve.

Remove the garlic from the lamb and season the lamb with salt. Heat a frying pan over moderate heat and panfry the lamb for about 4 minutes on each side for medium (pink and juicy on the inside but cooked). Remove from the heat, place on a plate, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest while you cook the vegetables and make the sauce.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and add the broccoli. Bring back to the boil and boil 3 minutes then add the snowpeas and spinach and boil a further 2 minutes. Drain well.

Bring the stock to a rolling boil then remove from the heat. Whisking continually, add the stock slowly to the egg yolk and juice mix. Pour back into the saucepan and place directly over moderate heat and stir until the sauce thickens slightly. Do not boil or it will curdle. Taste and season with salt.

Slice the lamb on the diagonal across the grain of the meat. Serve the lamb on the vegetables with the sauce over it and sprinkled with the zest and the rice on the side.

This dipping sauce is so good you're going to find reasons to use it. It's zesty from the brown mustard and Worcestershire sauce, creamy from the mayo, and a little zing from the chili sauce. Super easy to make and very flavorful, this a great companion to hot, crispy fries.
