- STEP 2At the same time, wash and lightly scrub carrots and put them in a pan of salted boiling water and bring to bubbling until just cooked.
- STEP 3When celeriac and potato is cooked, strain and transfer to a bowl and mash with butter and cream. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep warm.
- STEP 4Heat oil in a pan and fry shallots to brown on all sides. Turn down heat and cook until softened. Remove and keep warm. Add cutlets to pan and fry on both sides for 2-3 minutes depending on thickness, to keep them pink in the middle. Remove from pan and reserve with shallots, keeping warm.
- STEP 5For the gravy, add flour to the pan where the lamb and shallots were cooked and stir in over medium heat. Add wine, Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard and stock and bring to bubbling. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
