List of Ingredients
700-800g boneless breast of lamb
A few sprigs of rosemary
A few sprigs of thyme
1 bay leaf
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1tbsp salt
10 black peppercorns
To serve
Flour for dusting
2 eggs, beaten
60-70g fresh white breadcrumbs
1tbsp Dijon mustard
Vegetable oil for deep-fryingRecipe
Put the lamb in a large saucepan, add the herbs and spices and salt and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and leave to cool in the liquid. If you remove the fat at this stage you can use the liquid as the base for a lamb and vegetable broth.
When the lamb is cool, remove it from the liquid and cut it into two-bite chunks or rough 5-6cm x 2cm strips.
Whisk the mustard into the eggs, then pass the pieces of lamb through the flour, shaking off any excess, then the egg mixture and finally the breadcrumbs.
Pre-heat about 8cm-deep of vegetable oil to 160-180ºC/320-360ºF in a deep-fat fryer or heavy-based saucepan. Fry the pieces of lamb, 6 or 7 pieces at a time, for 2-3 minutes until golden, then drain on some kitchen paper.
