Roast lamb with sweet, minty shallots

I made this last weekend. I thought I'd try cooking the shallots for a while in white wine and a big bunch of fresh spearmint from the garden. I hate mint sauce with lamb, but I though the mint infused shallots would combine nicely with the sweet rosemary and, happily, they did!! Made some steamed beans and new potatoes as a side dish, added olive oil, a little rice vinegar, salt and black pepper and stirred them around the pan after draining and just before serving. I also added some sliced loquat to the lamb just before serving from the tree in our garden - loquat is a fruit that grows wild in this part of Spain. Peach or apricot would work too. Here's the recipe for the lamb.

Cooking instructions

Put the wine, water, shallots and mint in a pan and bring to the boil. Once it is boiling, lower the heat to moderate and leave to simmer Put a dash of olive oil in a roasting dish and spread it around. Prepare the lamb with salt, pepper and rosemary in the dish.

* Step 2

When the onions are soft, after about 30 minutes, turn the heat up to reduce the liquid for a few minutes and put the oven on at 130º, top and bottom. Then add the shallots to the roasting dish together with the remaining liquid without the mint.

Put the roasting dish in the oven and leave for an hour and a half. Then turn it up to 200º, switch to bottom only and leave for another 15 minutes. Let the lamb stand for 15 minutes before serving. Agregar unos trocitos de fruta, and enjoy!!
