Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 8. Boil a kettle. Thinly slice the potatoes and place on a lined baking tray mixed with 1/2 tbsp oil, sea salt and black pepper. Arrange the potatoes into 2 circles by fanning and overlapping the slices. Bake for 30 mins, until golden and crispy. Dissolve the stock cube in a jug with 100ml boiling water.
  2. Heat a medium pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on a medium heat. Season the lamb with sea salt and cook for 5 mins on each side, until golden. Meanwhile, finely chop the shallot and garlic. Pull the thyme leaves from their stalks.
  3. When the lamb is done, transfer to a plate to rest. Return the pan to the heat and add the shallots, garlic and thyme, then cook for 5 mins, until softening. Pour in the stock, simmer for 5 mins, then stir in the yoghurt and pesto. Simmer for a further 5 mins.
  4. Meanwhile, roughly chop the mint. Fill a saucepan with lightly salted boiling water. Add the peas, cook for 1-2 mins, then drain. Toss with the mint; season with sea salt and black pepper. Place the lamb on the potato tray for 5 mins to warm through.
  5. Serve the lamb steaks and pesto sauce with the potato galettes and peas.
