Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put the potatoes and carrots onto a baking tray, toss with the oil and rosemary, then season well. Roast for 15 mins on the top shelf until the veg is golden and almost tender.
  2. Meanwhile, make the gravy. Put the wine and stock into a small pan, then boil until reduced by about two-thirds. Stir in the redcurrant jelly, season and keep warm.
  3. Rub the lamb in a little oil, then season. Tuck the lamb in amongst the veg, then return to the oven for 8-10 mins, turning the lamb halfway through. Serve with the redcurrant gravy and some green veg.

    Tried this and liked it but be careful not to buy big lamb chops - totally defeated us ;-)

    Top notch quick(ish) food. The gravy is beautiful and will be used in more meals than just this.

    Quick & tasty, I added parsnip, lovely, plain gravy as I don't use alcohol. Will experiment with different flavour gravies. But definitely a regular.

    The gravy is really yum - though I did find the overall dish slightly greasy.

    Brill, after busy day, not too much washing up. Didnt have new potatoes, so did chunks of potato. Gravy was lush. Enjoyed by whole family which is a rare.

    chops can never touch the succulence of a small joint - make the extra time. However chops are nice too.

    This was great. I slightly increased the cooking time by first cooking the potatoes for 15 minutes before adding the carrots and 5 minutes after adding the lamb. I also used garlic infused oil which gave the dish a slightly deeper taste. Gorge, quick and great for something yummy for the family after work.

    Does "reduced by about two-thirds" mean you end up with 2/3 or 1/3 the volume ? If the latter, would seem like an awful lot to boil away ? Can anyone confirm Also, how much red currant jelly should you use ?

    I made this with some marinated leg of lamb boned chunks that my butc.er sells. He reckoned they took about 40 mins so I only roasted my veg for about 15 mins before adding the lamb. We all enjoyed this, both adults and children. Everyone thought the carrots tasted good. Gravy was so easy and even though I wasn't sure if the children would find it too winey, they loved it. Served it with runner beans. Without a pudding this can be on the table in under the hour. Result.

    Loved this recipe, tasted great! I did cook my carrots and potato's for longer (10 more mins) as they did seem a little hard still. However lamb cooked quickly, gravy was simple and easy to make, however I would say it just needs to be drizzled over the lamb. All served with cabbage cooked with panchetta - all in all great midweek meal!!!

    I used tiny carrots and halved baby new potatoes and it still took a good 30 minutes to cook the veg. I would use cut up large potatoes instead of new potatoes next time. Sauce was very nice, I used 3 teaspoons of red current jelly and no salt as I reduced it right down. The lamb released a lot of water after being in the oven for 4 minutes and was stewing instead of going brown, so I heated up a frying pan until really hot and finished it off in the pan for 45 seconds each side. The lamb was still pink in the middle but wasn't very tender and I think it would have been cooked better just in a hot pan rather than the oven.
