Cooking Steps
• 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 rump
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 the 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!
• Meanwhile, halve chat potatoes.
• Place potatoes on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle
with olive oil, sprinkle with savoury seasoning,
season to taste with salt and pepper and toss
to coat.
• Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
• When the potatoes have 10 minutes remaining, trim
ends of asparagus.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat
with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook asparagus until
tender, 5-6 minutes. Add a dash of water to help
asparagus cook. Transfer to a plate.
• While potatoes 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 cooked asparagus and cook until
fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl, season to
taste and cover to keep warm
• 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.
• Slice lamb.
• Divide roast lamb, charred asparagus, baby broccoli
and chat potatoes between plates. Spoon cranberry
walnut sauce over lamb to serve. Enjoy!
