Method

  1. 1

    Thaw the lamb rumps in the refrigerator. Take the thawed meat out to room temperature 1 hour before cooking.

  2. 2

    Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan. Sear the meat on all sides until well browned.

  3. 3

    Transfer the meat to an oven dish. Finely chop the rosemary leaves. Rub the rosemary, along with a generous amount of salt and black pepper, onto the surface of the meat.

  4. 4

    Roast the meat in a 200 °C oven for 10–15 minutes, until the internal temperature is about 58 °C and the meat is still pink inside. If you prefer it medium to well-done, cook until the internal temperature reaches 60–65 °C. Wrap the meat in foil and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare the sauce. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs. Place all the sauce ingredients except the gravy thickener into a saucepan. Boil over high heat, uncovered, for 5–10 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half (to 4 dl).

  6. 6

    Strain out the aromatics. Add the blackcurrant jelly. Whisk the thickener into the liquid constantly. Simmer over low heat for 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Peel and slice the garlic. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Sauté the broccolini and garlic over high heat for about 4 minutes, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

  8. 8

    Carve the rested lamb into thin slices. Serve the lamb with the broccolini and rosemary sauce. You can garnish the portions with fresh rosemary.
