22 April - minty lamb in a new kitchen

Today we arrived in Mousehole in Cornwall for a week in another rented cottage. It's a really cool little place with a great kitchen.


We came down with a load of stuff in the back of the car, so I was all ready for an easy-cook dinner when we arrived. Another Nigel Slater favourite, I made up a marinade in advance of fresh mint, garlic, olive oil and a couple of anchovy fillets whizzed up to a paste. Then when we arrived, I coated a couple of lamb fillets in the minty slush and left them for an hour or so, before popping them in a hot oven for about 15 minutes. I boiled some new potatoes then gently squished them to split their skins and popped them in the oven with a bit of olive oil and salt to cook with the lamb and served both with some more asparagus. A bottle of wine and some chocolate bunnies for pud made a great start to our Easter hols.
