Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and season the lamb with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a casserole dish and sear the lamb in oil and butter until browned.
  • Sear the kidneys in the same pan, then cook onions and rosemary for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in flour, reduce the wine by half, and add stock and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Return lamb to the pan with herbs, then layer potato slices on top.
  • Season potatoes, brush with melted butter, and bake covered for 1.5 hours.
  • Uncover and bake at 200°C for 25 minutes until the potatoes are crisp.
  • Boil cauliflower florets for 2 minutes, drain, and place in a buttered dish.
  • Make a roux with butter and flour, kemudian whisk in milk until smooth.
  • Stir in egg yolks, mustard, and half the cheese, then pour over cauliflower.
  • Top with remaining cheese and grill until golden-brown.
  • Serve the hotpot alongside a portion of the cauliflower cheese.
