Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Season the lamb shoulder and brown it in a hot pan with vegetable oil.
  • Transfer lamb to a roasting tray with onion, carrots, thyme, garlic, red wine, and stock.
  • Cover tightly and roast for three hours until tender.
  • Braise lamb trimmings with onion, wine, and stock for 3 hours until soft.
  • Blend trimmings with parsley and form into balls to make bon bons.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and brown the seasoned lamb cutlets in a pan.
  • Roast cutlets for 12 minutes until medium-rare and let them rest.
  • Boil beetroot in salted water until soft, then peel, quarter, and pan-fry.
  • Wilt the leaves in melted butter for 2 minutes.
  • Layer sliced potatoes in a dish with thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and double cream.
  • Bake the gratin at 180°C for 60 minutes until golden.
  • Reduce the strained cooking juices in a saucepan to create a thick jus.
  • Coat bon bons in flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs.
  • Deep-fry bon bons at 180°C until golden and crispy.
  • Blend mint salsa ingredients until smooth, adding oil gradually.
  • Platter the gratin, shoulder, cutlets, bon bons, and beets with salsa and jus.
