Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160.
- Combine the lamb rub ingredients in a bowl and evenly coat the lamb. Sear each piece with a little olive oil for a minute in a hot skillet. Remove the lamb and set aside.
- In the same pan, fry chopped anchovies and tomato paste for 2 minutes before adding the garlic and onion. After around 8-10 minutes the onions should be caramelised.
- Add the harissa, smoked paprika, wine, chopped tomatoes, maple syrup and stock.
- Add the meat and coat in the sauce.
- Cook in the oven with the lid on for 2 hours, stirring after 1 hour has passed.
- After 2 hours, add in your Merchant Gourmet Puy Lentils and cook for 20 minutes with the lid on, then another 20 with the lid off. Add a splash of water if the lentils are soaking up the sauce!
- Blitz the salsa verde in a blender, then serve the lamb dish with mashed potato and a drizzle of salsa verde.
