Prosciutto Wrapped Lamb with a Minted Pea Sauce
This is a very tasty easy meal to throw together. I served mine over sweet potato and zucchini rosti, but you can serve it with potato done your favourite way and vegetables.

                                                                                                                                                                          Ingredients

8 Slices prosciutto
4 Lamb Fillets
1 Tablespoon olive oil
25g Butter
1 Large shallot
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
2 Bacon rashers, sliced thinly
100ml Dry white wine
1 Teaspoon chicken stock
50ml Water
1/2 Cup frozen peas
100ml Cream
2 Tablespoons fresh mint, finley chopped
11/2 Teaspoons cornflour

Method

1. Wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each lamb fillet. Heat the oil in a large fry pan, cook lamb until cooked as desired. Cover, stand 5 Minutes, then slice into slices.

2. Meanwhile melt the butter in a pan, add onion, garlic and bacon, cook until onion softens.

3. Stir in wine, bring to the boil, reduce heat to a simmer, simmer a couple of minutes, stir in stock and peas, bring to a boil again until peas are soft, turn down heat, add cream, mix a little water with the cornflour add to sauce and stir until mixture thickens.

4. Blend or process mixture until smooth, stir in mint. Serve lamb with minted pea sauce.

    the day I made this I could not get the lamb fillets, so I used Lamb cutlets, I fried fresh mushrooms with garlic and fresh rosemary put that on top of one of the cutlet and also add ricotta cheese put an other cutlet on top of that and wrapped the two cutlets with the Prosciutto. I have to say the minted peas sauce was lovely went so well with the lamb and mush potatoes,
    thank you for the receipt

    Never thought of doing it this way, I am not sure how those added ingredients would work with the sauce. I love all of those ingredients and I will have to give this version a try next time I make it. I will let you know what I think but it could be quite good.

    Glad you enjoyed it
