GREEK LAMB WITH CRISPY POTATOES

3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
2 tbs chopped rosemary leaves
1 lemon, sliced
4 x 4-cutlet lamb racks
10 chat potatoes
150g vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
1 cup (160g) pitted kalamata olives
Good-quality mint sauce, to serve (optional)

1.Combine garlic with 2 tablespoons of the oil, rosemary and lemon in a bowl. Add lamb, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2.Meanwhile, part-cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 5-6 minutes, then drain.
Flatten each potato with a potato masher and place in an oiled roasting pan. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season well. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden.

3.Meanwhile, heat a large frypan over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on all sides. Place lamb and any pan juices on top of the potatoes with lemon slices and roast for 10 minutes (for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking). Remove lamb, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and olives to the potatoes, then return pan to the oven for a further 5 minutes until tomatoes soften. Serve the lamb on the potato mixture, with mint sauce if desired.

Best thing to do is buy the baby or small ones and slice them thinly and fry them in olive oil and serve on toast with a freshly fried sunny side - runny egg (had that for breakfast on Monday).

Alternatively BBQ with a little salt and oil on the open grill, turn after a couple of minutes.

Out of all the silliest of suggestions I have heard so far on this thread, yours has to have some sort of medal winning abilities...

Apart from my arteries hardening from just reading your suggestion, it actually has some merit.

So a pie sammy.... That's not a bad go just arteries clogging right now....

I think the pie needs to be baked tho - if microwaved i reckon pies taste best when they're slightly over done or cooked in those crisp bags so you get that real crispy outer crust then sandwhich that and you have yourself a hell snack!

Gonna try that tomorrow I think!

Might drop in on Brumbies and get some of their bread to sammy it up!

This was my Mum's recipe, so I just go by look and feel when it comes to how much of what. I should one day write it down as I go, but anyways... here's the general idea.

Oh and I USED to cook each steak individually wrapped in foil. But tried the mass cooking method and it works just as well


Steak (A nice cut... rump works great... but any steak can be used after a bashing)

French onion soup mix... (a flakey one... not powder)

Tomatoes (sliced)

Onion (sliced)

Mushrooms or champingions (sliced)

Cheese (I use Karaft sliced cheese)


Line a baking dish with alfoil (grease the foil a little)
Coat steak in french onion soup mix... shake off excess.

Lay steak in baking dish, top with sliced tomato, onion, mushroom then cheese.

Cover dish completly with greased foil.

Cook for aprox 30 mins. On about 180 (not fan forced)

I serve with Mash potato and steamed beans and carrots.
