About

This superb dish, with its classic combination of redcurrant and lamb, may seem very time consuming. Rest assured, it isn’t: most of the cooking time revolves around a gently simmering pot.

Ingredients

3 x 8-chop racks of lamb (best end of neck) or 1 saddle of lamb (ask your butcher to debone the lamb, remove the fat, chop the bones and reserve the trimmings)
oil, for cooking

Method

Place the lamb bones and trimmings in a large bowl with all the marinade ingredients except the wine. Bring the wine to the boil in a pan, then pour directly into the marinade bowl. Leave to cool, then add the lamb fillets and marinate overnight, or for a maximum of 48 hours.
Remove the fillets from the marinade. Pat dry, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
