About

Another classic dish, using the breast of the sheep, a part of the animal that is often overlooked. It gives a delicious flavour and melting texture, with the added bonus of being one of the cheapest cuts available.

Ingredients

50 g unsalted butter
25 ml olive oil
1 half lamb br

Method

In a large saucepan melt the butter and olive oil together. Season the lamb breast generously and seal on all sides until golden. Remove from the pan.

Add the vegetables to the pan, including the garlic bulb, and sauté until golden, about 20–25 minutes. Stir in the tomato purée, herbs, red wine and red wine vinegar. Put the lamb breast back into the pan and cover with the stock or water
