Autumn lamb with mint, feta, peas and borlotti beans

Serves 4



1 tbsp   olive oil
2   lamb rumps (about 350gm each), fat trimmed, at room temperature
300 gm   unpodded peas (see note)
½   white onion, thinly sliced with a mandolin
1 bunch   mint, leaves torn
2 tbsp   caramelised red wine vinegar (see note)
2 tbsp   extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp   aged balsamic vinegar
820 gm   canned borlotti beans, drained, rinsed
100 gm   Persian feta, drained


1 Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season lamb rumps and cook, turning occasionally, until medium rare (15-20 minutes). Cover with foil and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, pod peas, then blanch (1-2 minutes).
3 Combine remaining ingredients (except beans and feta) in a bowl. Add beans and peas and toss to combine. Transfer to plates, slice lamb and add to bean mixture, scatter with feta and serve immediately.

Note You can substitute frozen peas if fresh peas are unavailable. Caramelised red wine vinegar is available from select delicatessens. Substitute aged red wine vinegar to taste.
