This French Grain Bowl leans on cream and nutmeg to do the heavy lifting. We grill the Lamb for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the cream and nutmeg elements, and pat the lamb dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the lamb. Grill over a medium-high heat, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked through.

Stir in the dijon mustard and the rest of the cream and nutmeg flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the spinach along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped tarragon and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
