Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 120°C.
  • Dry ciabatta, lemon rind, capers, anchovies, onions, and olives on a baking sheet for two hours.
  • Pulse the dried mixture in a food processor for two minutes to form fine breadcrumbs.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Season lamb and sear it in a hot oiled frying pan for two minutes to brown the fat.
  • Coat seared lamb in Dijon mustard and roll it in the herb breadcrumbs.
  • Bake the lamb for 12 minutes until medium rare, turning halfway through, then rest.
  • Increase oven temperature to 190°C.
  • Peel, seed, and chop butternut squash into even chunks.
  • Toss squash with garlic, lemon, olive oil, and 70g melted butter.
  • Roast squash with thyme for 20 minutes until tender.
  • Blend roasted squash with 30g chilled butter, mustard, and cream until smooth.
  • Slice lamb into cutlets and serve on a bed of the squash purée.
