How To Make Jamie Oliver 15 Minute Meal Mustard Lamb

1. Cook leeks & potatoes: Slice leeks in half, rinse, slice (with potatoes) using a processor, place in a medium pan with salt and boiling water. Boil until tender, then drain.
2. Season the lamb: Butterfly lamb pieces by scoring and opening, season with salt, pepper, and mustard powder. Sear in a hot frying pan with oil, turning until golden.
3. Make the salad: Coarsely grate celery stalks and apple in a processor, reserving celery leaves. Toss with watercress, chopped mint, cider vinegar, and oil. Season.
4. Mash it: Mash the drained potatoes and leeks, seasoning well, then loosen with milk. Grate in nutmeg and optionally stir in butter. Spread on a platter.
5. Make the gravy: Remove lamb from the pan. Stir flour into pan juices, add cider and any resting juices, then stir in mint sauce. Bring to the boil.
6. Serve: Slice the lamb and serve atop the mash with the cider-gravy. Scatter celery leaves over the mash, with the salad on the side.

Recipe Tips

• How to avoid overcooking lamb?
  Turn often and remove once lightly firm—neck fillet cooks fast.
• Can I substitute cider?
  Use dry white wine or beef stock as an alternative.
• Why grate apple and celery together?
  It adds crisp sweetness and balances the rich gravy.
• Can I make the mash extra smooth?
  Pass through a ricer or add extra milk and butter.
