Hi all
Its my OH birthday in two weeks and I have pre-ordered one of the above for a suprise dinner (lamb is his favourite and he doesnt have it very often) Any ideas what to serve with it...something special?
(He's having chocolate and raspberry gateau made by my friend for afters...not that he's spoilt mind )
Thank you all xx

I found a delicious recipe last week :
Prepare some fine-cut strips of carrot and cook
Cook some petit pois
cook some baby artichokes(remove outer leaves, cut off tops of leaves, quarter,poach in garlic, olive oil, white wine salt and pepper)
cook some spinach and squeeze water out - keep the water

Get some Filo or Brick leaves - brick is easier to use for this
layer the veggies , season, fold up to enclose veggeis, brush with butter and bake about 8 to 10 mins.
Serve with basil oil lightened with a little spinach water.

For a simpler alternative, the french love lamb with flageolet beans with roast tatoes and a red wine jus.
