Smoked Lamb Scramble

This Italian Scramble leans on garlic and basil to do the heavy lifting. We smoke 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 garlic and basil 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 san marzano tomatoes and the rest of the garlic and basil flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the cherry tomatoes 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 flat-leaf parsley and serve while hot.

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