Heston Blumenthals Lamb Steak Tapenade

Heston Blumenthals Lamb Steak Tapenade, Lay The Table


Im gradually working my way through the Heston Blumenthal cookbook for Christmas, and this recipe is a great way to combine my present from the Christmas before last: my trusty sous vide. You dont NEED a sous vide just cook the lamb steaks in a hot frying pan for 2-3 mins each side, but as Ive got one, its better used than gathering dust.


This recipe is a fantastic midweek supper. Serve with Dauphinois potatoes (par-boiled potatoes, sliced, then layer with garlic and onions, and drizzled with cream and grated nutmeg, then cooked a 180C/Gas oven for 30-35 mins) and steam curly kale.

10g mint leaves
15g basil leaves
40g olive oil
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
