OVEN GRILLED LAMB AND CREAMY MUSHROOM & GREEN PEPPERS...


Whenever i want to pig out, i skip a meal to avoid the guilt, not that anything could have made me feel guilty after tucking this away. So yesterday, i had a miserable breakfast, skipped lunch and got off work early to have me a nice steak dinner...amongst other things...

I marinated my lamb with dried crushed garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, mint and paprika. Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Chop mushrooms (if you haven't noticed yet, i LOVE mushrooms) and set aside. De-seed and chop up some green pepper and either in a non-stick pan or in the oven, roast it until it begins to change colour and soften. This releases an amazing smoky flavour. Chop it into smaller bits if you please. Crush some garlic and chop some onions.

Grease an oven pan and transfer your lamb on to it and pop into your pre-heated oven.
In the 10 minutes that it'll take your lamb to cook to medium rare, add a teaspoon of sunflower oil to a pan and sautee your onions and garlic. As soon as your onions have been sweated down add your mushroom and green pepper. Spice with salt and crushed black pepper. Pour in some single cream, grate in some parmesan cheese, stir and turn down the heat. Let it simmer for 2 minutes and turn the heat off.

Check on your lamb, turn it over and let it cook for a bit longer if you want it well done.

Plate and serve with fries.

Cheers to food, glorious food!
