Leeks are a great winter vegetable. One goes a long way, either taking the place of an onion or, like here, becoming the base of your dish. When preparing a leek, try to use as much of it as possible. Only remove the coarse leaves, the rest will cook and soften adding loads of flavour.

Ingredients

1 TbspOil
1Lamb rump, can use two, depending on the size (Main)
1 servingSalt and freshly ground black pepper
20 gButter
1 largeLeek, halved lengthways, sliced (Main)
1Garlic clove, crushed
1Tin butter beans, drained and rinsed (Main)
½ Lime, zest and juice
2 TbspChopped thyme
1 servingFresh thyme, to garnish

Dressing

¼ cupSundried tomatoes, finely chopped
¼ cupOlive oil
1 tspLemon zest
2 TbspLemon juice
1 tspHoney

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 180C.
  2. In a hot pan add the oil and sear the lamb. Season with salt and pepper then place into the oven for 20 minutes or until done to your liking. Remove and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and garlic. Cook for 8-10 minutes until softened but not brown. Add the butter beans, lime and thyme cooking for a further 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. For the dressing whizz together the sundried tomatoes, oil, lemon and honey.
  5. Serve the bean mixture with the sliced lamb and a drizzle of dressing. Garnish with some thyme leaves.
