Cooking Steps

Roast the lamb rump
1

• ‘See Top Roast Tips!’ (below left).
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Lightly 
score lamb rump fat in a 1cm criss-cross pattern. 
Season lamb all over and place, fat-side down, in 
a large frying pan (no need for oil!).
• Place pan over medium heat and cook 
undisturbed until golden, 10-12 minutes.
• Increase heat to high and sear lamb rump on 
all sides for 30 seconds. Transfer, fat-side up, 
to lined oven tray. Roast for 15-20 minutes for 
medium or until cooked to your liking. Remove 
from oven and rest for 10 minutes. 


TIP: Starting the lamb in a cold pan helps the fat 
melt without burning.
TIP: The meat will keep cooking as it rests! 

Roast the chat potatoes
2

• Meanwhile, halve chat potatoes.
• Place potatoes on a second lined oven tray. 
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with savoury 
seasoning, season with pepper and toss to coat.
• Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. 

Roast the Brussels sprouts
3

• When the potatoes have 20 minutes remaining, 
halve Brussels sprouts.
• Move potatoes to one side of oven tray and add 
Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, season 
with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Arrange potatoes and sprouts cut-side down 
and roast until tender, 15-18 minutes. 


TIP: The Brussels sprouts will char slightly, this adds 
to the flavour! 

Get prepped and sauté the baby broccoli
4

• While sprouts are roasting, trim baby broccoli, 
halving any thicker stalks lengthways. 
• Thinly slice garlic. Roughly chop walnuts.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high 
heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook baby broccoli, tossing, until tender, 
5-6 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 
Transfer to a bowl, season to taste and cover to 
keep warm. 

Make the sauce
5

• While the lamb is resting, return frying pan to 
medium heat.
• Cook sweet & savoury glaze, dried cranberries, 
walnuts, a good splash of water and a drizzle 
of vinegar until heated through and slightly 
reduced, 1 minute. Stir through any lamb
resting juices until combined. Season to taste.

Finish & serve!
6

• Slice lamb.
• Divide roast lamb, Brussels sprouts, baby 
broccoli and chat potatoes between plates.
• Spoon cranberry walnut sauce over lamb to 
serve. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The walnut cranberry sauce was a standout, pairing beautifully with the tender lamb and complementing the overall dish.
  • Ease of prep: Some found the Brussels sprouts surprisingly enjoyable, even those who typically dislike them.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing the fat content and adjusting the sauce by omitting pan juices for a lighter option.
