Ingredients

  • 2 three-racks of lamb
  • Olive oil
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons of ground almonds
  • 1 clove of garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • A handful of finely Chopped fresh mint, parsley and cilantro
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fat chunks
  • A scant handful of chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Method

  • First, brown the lamb in a searing hot pan with a little bit of olive oil.
  • You just want to seal the juices in, so brown it for literally just a few minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and add the ground almonds, garlic, cumin and herbs.
  • Mix well and then pat on the loin side of the lamb, making sure it is properly covered.
  • You want to put the sweet potatoes in the oven about 25 minutes before the lamb, in a roasting pan, covered with the rosemary and some splashes of olive oil.
  • When they have done their time, add the lamb to the oven in a separate pan next to the sweet potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, less if you like it really rare.
  • The sweet potatoes should be ready at exactly the same time as the lamb if you time it like this.
