Method

Hide images
step 1
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a frying pan over medium heat and add the leeks (110 g). Season and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
step 2
In a bowl, rub the remaining butter (100 g) into the flour (200 g) with seasoning until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
step 3
Make a well in the centre and break in the egg (1). Add the cheese (100 g), milk (300 ml) and leeks and stir to combine.
step 4
Heat the rapeseed oil (1 tbsp) in a frying pan and spoon in 2 large spoonfuls of the batter per cake at a time. You want them to be around 10cm in diameter. Fry the cakes for 2 mins on each side until golden brown, remove and set aside while you repeat with the rest of the batter.
step 5
Start on the veg. Add the carrots (4) and swede (1/2) to a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 15-18 minutes until tender. Drain well and allow to steam dry.
step 6
Add back to the pan along with the butter (50 g). Stir with a fork to melt the butter and rough up the veg. Season well.
step 7
Meanwhile, add the red wine (200 ml) to a saucepan and over a high heat, simmer for 8-10 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in the stock (1 pouch) and redcurrant jelly (1 tbsp) before bringing to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and cook for 10-12 minutes until reduced and you have a smooth sauce. Stir in the butter (1 tbsp).
step 8
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil (1 tbsp) in a pan over a medium-high heat. Add the lamb (2), garlic (3 cloves), thyme (3 sprigs), rosemary (2 sprigs) and butter (50 g) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until medium (or slightly less for medium-rare), basting throughout. Remove using a slotted spoon and place onto a warm plate, covering to rest for 5 minutes.
step 9
To serve, put two Welsh cakes in the centre of each plate and top with the veg. Slice the lamb into 1cm thick slices and arrange around each plate. Spoon over the sauce to finish.
