Slow Cooked Noisettes of Salt Marsh Lamb with a Marinade of Indian Pickling Spices from Dev Biswall of The Ambrette www.theambrette.co.uk // 01227 200777 The lamb used is the Romney breed which grazes on the salt marshes in coastal Kent. The meat is naturally sweeter, juicier, and has a natural salty flavour due to coastal herbs and samphire in its diet. It also has excellent marbling due to the tough environmental conditions compared to pasture-fed animals. Most salt marsh lamb today is exported to France where it is prized by top chefs. Ingredients • 4 medium-sized lamb noisettes Marinade: • 1tbsp of rapeseed oil • 2 tsp of ginger paste • 1 tsp of garlic paste • 1 tbsp of Indian mixed pickle • 1 pinch of Himalayan salt • 1 pinch of red chilli powder • 1 tsp of turmeric powder • 1 tsp of fenugreek leaves • 1 tsp of green chilli paste Method 1. Combine all marinade ingredients and blend to a paste. 2. Cook the noisettes sous vide in a water bath at 55°C for one hour. Take out from the water bath then marinade for half an hour. 3. Sear the lamb well on both sides and finish in the oven for 3-5 minutes before serving. M O N T H E FA R Y A D N U F A E F A M I LY FOR ALL TH Crossbush Farm is an independant, friendly, family farm.
