2
potato
1 packet
mushrooms
1 packet
Lamb Shortloin
1 sachet
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 packet

1 bag
Brussels sprouts

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Halve Brussels sprouts. Place Brussels sprouts and diced bacon on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Arrange cut-side down and roast until tender, 15-18 minutes. When the sprouts are done, add currants (see ingredients) to the oven tray and toss to combine.
TIP: The Brussels sprouts will char slightly, this adds to the flavour!
Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add the butter and milk to the potato, then season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled!
While the potato is cooking, thinly slice mushrooms. In a medium bowl, combine lamb shortloin, garlic & herb seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook lamb for 3-4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
While the lamb is resting, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. Add peppercorn sauce and a splash of water to the pan, then stir until heated, 1-2 minutes.
Slice lamb shortloin. Divide mash, lamb and currant-bacon Brussels sprouts between plates. Pour over mushroom peppercorn sauce to serve.
