Instructions

Prep your Lamb
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the lamb from the fridge to allow it to come up to room temperature.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use the garlic press).

Carefully remove the lamb from the netting (discard the netting). Place it onto a baking tray.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic, olive oil (see pantry for amount) and half the oregano. Season with salt and pepper and rub all over the lamb. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.

Time to Roast
2

When the oven is hot, roast the lamb on the middle shelf for 25-30/35-40/50-55 mins (depending on size) for medium-rare. Add an extra 5 mins if you like your lamb more well done. IMPORTANT: The lamb is cooked when browned on the outside.

Meanwhile, chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Finish the Prep
3

While everything cooks, drain and rinse the butter beans in a sieve. 

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Discard any tough stalks from the cavolo nero.

Heat a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (if you have any) in a medium saucepan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 8-10 mins.

Make your Gigantes Plaki
4

Add the cavolo nero and a splash of water and cover until wilted, 3-4 mins.

Remove the lid and stir through the passata, butter beans, chicken stock paste, sun-dried tomato paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) and the remaining oregano.

Bring up to the boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook until thickened slightly, 4-5 mins.

Finishing Touches
5

Add the butter (see pantry for amount) into the sauce until melted and remove from the heat.

When the lamb is cooked, rest it, wrapped loosely in foil, for at least 10 mins before slicing.

Once your lamb has rested, slice as thinly as you can.

Serve Up
6

Transfer your gigantes plaki to a large dish and top with your sliced lamb. Break up the goat's cheese and scatter over the top.

Serve your potatoes and rocket leaves in separate bowls on the side.

Drizzle the leaves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to finish.

Enjoy!
