Cooking Steps

Start the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Bring a large saucepan of water with 1/2 tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes. Peel and slice the potatoes into 1 cm wide rounds. Once boiling, add the potato slices to the water and simmer until just tender, 8-12 mins. TIP: The potatoes are cooked when you can easily slip a knife through them. Once cooked, reserve some of the potato cooking water (see ingredient list for amount), then carefully drain in a colander.

Meanwhile, zest and halve the lemon. Trim and thinly slice the radishes. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Slice the sugar snap peas in half lengthways. Chop the walnuts and half of the rocket as finely as you can and pop them both into a medium bowl.

Make the Dauphinoise
3

When the potatoes are cooked and drained, heat a large frying pan on medium heat (no oil). Add the creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste, the reserved potato water, half the garlic and one- third of the grated hard Italian style cheese. Stir to mix, bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange the cooked potato slices in layers in an appropriately sized ovenproof dish, then pour over the creamy mixture. Bang the dish carefully a couple of times on a hard surface to get any air bubbles out. Sprinkle another one-third of cheese on top. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden brown and bubbly, 10-15 mins. TIP: Put the dish onto a baking tray to catch any drips.

Hey Pesto
4

Meanwhile, add the lemon zest to the bowl with the walnuts and chopped rocket. Add the remaining grated hard Italian style cheese, the remaining garlic (leave out or add less if you don't like raw garlic) and a good squeeze of lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the olive oil for the pesto (see ingredients for amount) and mix together well. Taste and add more salt, pepper or lemon if needed. This is your pesto.

Fry the Lamb Steaks
5

Clean out the frying pan you used to make the creamy sauce and put it back on high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, lay the lamb steaks into the pan, season with salt and pepper and fry for 4-5 mins on each side (for medium-rare). Adjust the heat slightly if necessary. TIP: Cook for a few more mins if you prefer yours more well done. When cooked, remove to a plate and leave to rest, covered loosely with foil. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The lamb is cooked when browned on the outside.

Finish and Serve
6

Just before you are ready to serve, pour the olive oil for the dressing (see ingredients for amount) into a medium bowl, add a squeeze of lemon, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Add the radishes, sugar snap peas and the remaining rocket, toss to coat. Transfer the lamb steaks to your plates and generously spoon over the pesto. Serve with the dauphinoise potatoes and the lemony radish and sugar snap salad alongside. Enjoy!
