Preheat the oven to 200c.

For the potatoes bring the chicken stock to the boil and infuse
with thyme, rosemary and crushed garlic cloves.

Strain before use.

Gently sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until softened
and lightly coloured.
-
Rub an oven proof dish with olive oil and layer the onions
followed by the potatoes, repeating until the dish is full
finishing with a final layer of potato.
-
Make sure to season each layer as you go.
-
Pour over the stock until it comes 2/3rds of the way up the
dish.
-
Press down on the mixture to help the liquid absorb and finally
drizzle a little olive oil on top.

Bake in the oven at 200c for approximately 20 - 25 minutes or
until soft and golden on top.

Next, season the lamb and seal in hot olive oil.

Bake in the oven at 200c for 7 to 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a blender, thoroughly mix all the herb crust
ingredients together, season and set aside.

Remove the lamb from the oven and brush with the mustard before
dipping into the herb crust mix covering the fat thoroughly.
-
Allow to rest and before serving simply return the lamb to the
oven for a further 2-3 minutes.
-
For the vegetables, sauté the courgettes and rosemary in olive
oil, season and add a dash of vinegar.
-
Add the tomatoes, basil and coriander and cook for
approximately 5 minutes further seasoning with a little more
oil and vinegar.
-
Allow to cook until the vegetables have just begun to soften.
-
Slice the lamb into 3 chops per person, serve with the
courgettes and a generous helping of the potatoes before
spooning over a little of the vinaigrette from the vegetables.
