A hearty lamb meal from Come Dine With Me Portsmouth

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 2 small oranges, quartered and deseeded
  • 50g canned anchovy fillets, drained
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 150ml double cream
  • Fresh whole leg of lamb, boned and rolled
  • 50g breadcrumbs flavoured with garlic and rosemary

For the gravy

  • 125ml red wine
  • 2 tsp redcurrant jelly
  • 2 tsp mint jelly
  • 500ml good lamb stock

Method: How to make rolled leg of lamb

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Put the oranges, anchovy fillets and cream in a blender and blitz until as smooth as possible. Add the thyme and blitz once more. Brush the sauce all over the lamb then coat with the breadcrumbs, patting on firmly.

2. Place the lamb in a large, sturdy roasting tin and cook in the centre of the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, covering with foil if the breadcrumbs start to over-brown. Carefully transfer the lamb to a platter and leave to rest in a warm place for 10 minutes.

3. To make the gravy, put the roasting tin on the hob and stir in the red wine, jellies and stock. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly and leave to simmer for 2 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean pan and heat through. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into a warmed jug.

4. Carve the meat and serve with seasonal green vegetables and the wine gravy.
