Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the herb and peanut 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. Cook low with a little smoke until burnished and infused, resting before slicing.
Stir in the rice paper and the rest of the herb and peanut flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the baby potatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently 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 thai basil and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
