About

This is another recipe based on my cooking in the West Country, where I was able to buy excellent kid. There was a lavender bush growing at the farmhouse door, so the two seemed made for each other. Kid is a really excellent meat – lean, tender and full of flavour.

Ingredients

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. P
