directions
-
Vegetables:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Put everything into a roasting dish just big enough to hold it. Season with salt and pepper and mix everything well so that it is all coated with oil.
- Put into the oven and roast until the potatoes are tender and the tomatoes have collapsed, about 45 minutes. Keep warm.
-
Lamb:
- Put the oil, pepper, oregano and garlic into a blender or food processor and purée until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over the lamb and mix well so the lamb is well coated.
- Heat a frying pan until very hot and add the lamb.
- Pan-fry for about 4 minutes on each side until the lamb is medium.
- Remove from the pan and rest while you make the sauce.
- Pour any fat from the pan, put it over high heat and add the wine.
- Let it bubble then add the stock. Bring to the boil, scraping up the caramelised juices from the pan with a wooden spoon, and reduce until it is becoming syrupy. Stir in the butter.
- Slice each lamb shortloin into 4 pieces and serve it on top of the vegetables with the sauce poured over.
