We are delighted to share with you one of Aaron’s signature dishes as inspiration for your home cooking this Easter.
LOIN OF LAMB, LAMB BELLY AND PEPPER STEW
For the slow-cooked lamb belly you will need:
1 lamb belly
Rock salt
Black peppercorns
Rosemary
200ml olive oil
Clove of garlic
Method:
Chop the lamb belly in half width ways, sprinkle with rock salt, whole peppercorns and leave in the fridge for 1 hour. Wash off the lamb belly, put one half on top of the other, place in a vac pac bag, add 1 clove of garlic,1 sprig of rosemary, 200g olive oil and fully vac pac the bag. Cook for 12 hours at 85 degrees Celsius in a water bath until soft. Remove from bag and press bellies between 2 flat heavy trays with greaseproof to prevent sticking, place in the fridge overnight or when set minimum of 2 hours. Slice into rectangles 3cm by 7cm, sear the top until coloured and finish in an oven 160 degrees Celsius until piping hot in the middle.
