Will & Kate's Lamb Royale Recipes

Cooking Time: 30 - 45 mins
Serves: 4   

Ingredients

8 lamb noisettes
a jar Sacla' Organic Tomato Pesto
200ml passata
50ml red wine
2 tbsp soft dark brown sugar
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
150g mozzarella cheese
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
fresh basil or parsley to garnish

Instructions

In honour of the Royal Wedding, we've decided to rename our Italian Style Lamb with Organic Tomato Pesto, "Will & Kate's Lamb Royale". Fit for a future King & Queen!

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.

Next spread four tablespoons of Sacla' Organic Tomato Pesto over one side of your lamb noisettes. Season with a good sprinkling of salt and pepper.

Now place the passata, red wine, two tablespoons of Sacla' Organic Tomato Pesto and sugar in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Season well, stir in the thyme, and bring to the boil.

Transfer the tomato sauce into a shallow ovenproof dish, arrange the lamb on top and make sure its pesto side up.

Bake in the oven for about fifteen minutes before laying a slice of mozzarella onto each noisette.

Cook for a further five to ten minutes until the sauce is bubbling, the cheese melting, and the lamb is done but still a little pink inside. (If you prefer your lamb well done, just give it a bit longer.)

To serve, put two noisettes on each plate, one leaning on the other, spoon the sauce around each one and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
