Method

Hide images
step 1
To make the gremolata, blitz flat leaf parsley (25 g), garlic (2 cloves), lemon juice and zest (1), extra virgin olive oil (100 ml) and black pepper (1/2 tsp) together in a food processor. Pour into a saucepan and set aside to warm through later.
step 2
For the white bean mash: Make the stock by mixing 1 stock pot (350 ml) with boiling water according to the packet instructions.
step 3
In a medium saucepan, add the oil (2 tbsp), rosemary (1 sprig) and garlic (3 cloves) and sauté over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden. Stir in the cannellini beans (3 tins), lemon juice and zest (1/2). Add the stock and boil for 3-4 minutes until the beans are soft.
step 4
Remove the rosemary and blend the bean mixture in a food processor or blender until you have a creamy purée. Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
step 5
To make the fried olives: put the flour (2 tbsp), egg (1) and panko (100 g) into three different bowls. Season all three with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dip the olives (160 g) in the flour, the egg, then the breadcrumbs.
step 6
Heat the oil (500 ml) in a small deep pan. When a piece of bread sizzles in the oil immediately, add the olives in batches. Deep fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Keep warm until the lamb has finished resting.
step 7
Score the fat on the lamb (2) and cut carefully into even sized chops. Season with the salt (1 tsp), pepper (1 tsp), rosemary (2 tsp) and chilli flakes (1 tsp).
step 8
Heat the olive oil (2 tbsp) and butter (2 tbsp) in a hot pan, then add the lamb chops. Turn down the heat to medium-high and brown the chops about 2-3 minutes each side. Add the garlic (2 cloves), turn the heat down, and keep spooning the butter/oil over the chops. When the garlic is golden, after 1-2 minutes, remove from the heat. Cover with a lid and rest for 5 minutes.
step 9
Serve the lamb with the bean purée, warmed through gremolata sauce and fried olives.
