Lamb recipes
Slow cooked lamb Puttanesca
Tender Lamb in rich Puttanesca Sauce Serves: 4-5 Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 3 hours Puttanesca is a traditional and much-loved Italian sauce usually served with pasta. I’ve put a Kiwi spin on it by adding lamb and serving it over a buttery kumara mash. I won’t tell you […]
Lamb Wellingtons
Lamb Wellingtons These deliciously crispy little beauties may look flash, but they’re not hard to make at all – and the flavours will knock your socks off. I like to think of them as very fancy pies. They’re quicker and easier than their more expensive cousin, the Beef Wellington, and […]
Moroccan lamb meatball feast
Moroccan lamb meatball feast The flavours of Morocco are a match made in heaven with New Zealand lamb. Not only is this recipe fresh, healthy and simple to make, it tastes better than greasy old fast food! I’ll eat my hat if your family doesn’t gobble it up and ask […]
Chelsea’s Ultimate Kiwiburger
Chelsea’s Ultimate Kiwi Burger Yes, I know the burger in the photo looks hard to eat – but let’s be honest, when we make our own burgers we don’t care about presentation so we just slap everything on and squash it down. Eating burgers isn’t supposed to be a tidy […]
Roast lamb with fresh mint topping
Roast lamb with fresh mint topping, sticky roasted onions, gravy and crispy potatoes I love cooking lamb at Christmas – why wouldn’t you when NZ lamb is the best you can get anywhere in the world? Even though it’s a roast, I’ve freshened it up so it suits a festive […]
Lamb cutlets with potato rösti & fresh herb pistou
Lamb cutlets with rotato rösti & fresh herb pistou Lamb rack is a beautiful cut, and great for a special treat – perfect or a date or a dinner party. It’s not exactly cheap though, so if you want, use lamb chops instead. Technically, one rack is supposed to feed […]
Lamb & rosemary cannelloni
Lamb & Rosemary Cannelloni Serves: 4-6 Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 40 minutes While cannelloni takes a little more effort than just spooning sauce on cooked pasta, I think there’s something really nice about the whole process of making it, and it comes out of the oven looking rather […]
Fragrant Indian-spiced lamb curry
Fragrant Indian-spiced lamb curry with chickpeas Serves 4 This lamb curry is wonderfully aromatic and warming – and a great way to use a economical cut of lamb! The list of spices might look a little long, but you’ll find them all at your local supermarket and I think they […]
Utterly glorious lamb shanks
Slow-cooked lamb shanks This lamb shanks recipe is from my first cookbook, At My Table – I chose to share with everyone, because so many people say it’s the best lamb shanks recipe they have tried! Tender lamb lying provocatively on a bed of creamy luxurious mash and slathered in […]
Roasted lamb rumps with herb caper butter
Quite possibly my favourite cut of lamb, they are juicy, hugely flavoursome and have great texture with no pesky bones. My husband can eat one all to himself when he’s hungry, but normally a half would do for the average eater. Just make sure you only cut them after they […]
French style lamb stew
Tender French Lamb Stew This is my take on a classic French dish — it’s simple to make, uses relatively inexpensive (yet ridiculously tasty) cuts of lamb and tastes deeeelicious. And instead of saggy old vegetables hanging out in the stew, it’s served with lovely vibrant freshly steamed veg with […]
