pan fry lamb

dah lama tak update pasal masak memasak kan?? to be honest, I've been very malas off late especially after balik from short cuti2 Malaysia.

anyway, yesterday I had to cook because encik suami who normally cooks western food, was mowing the front & back garden. and i had to get few tips from him.

it took me half hour to get everything done from start to finish but bearing in mind you have to do few things at the same time.

1. lamb chops

• just season with salt & pepper. heat the pan till hot, put a knob of butter and pan fry the lamb chops 3 minutes on each side until brown.

meanwhile, prepare the potatoes and vege.

2. potatoes, carrots, beans, mushroom & green salad

• leave the potatoes  skin on, wash thoroughly, cut into wedges.
• boil some water (i usually boil the water in the kettle - its quicker) and pour into pot, add pinch of salt and potatoes and leave to cook (try not to over cook) and drain.
• cut button mushrooms in quarters.  
• trim off the ends of green beans, cut carrots in strips and par boil in boiling water, drain.
• add dash of olive oil/bit of  butter in the pan (which was used to fry the lamb) and quickly pan fry the boiled potatoes, carrots, beans and mushrooms SEPARATELY.
• then put all in a bowl, add green salad, dried mixed herbs, season with salt & pepper and mix well. 

serve with mint sauce and gravy (we cheated - used Bisto onion gravy granules, just add hot water)
