Matt Willis attempted to master Shelina Permalloo’s recipe for lamb chops with gremolata, garlic and white bean mash and fried olives. Make this very special Italian dinner yourself. Using tinned beans to make a delicious mash is a low-cost and easy way to inject more fibre and protein into your diet.
Fred Sirieix says if you’re looking for a great pairing with this dish, try M&S Classics Chianti Riserva. Aromatic and oaked, this medium-bodied red is perfect with intensely flavoured lamb and the creamy white bean mash.
