Lamb Chops with Risotto

You can choose between Lamb chops, loin or on the rack. The tricky part of this dish is cooking both the risotto and Lamb at the same time so follow our instructions as well as the directions for the meat you are using.

One Pot Lamb Risotto

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and brown the rack of lamb on both sides, remove and set aside.
2. Add the shallots to the pan and fry for 3 minutes, add the rice and then the white wine. Cook until reduced by half.
3. Cover and cook the risotto for 15-20 minutes, gradually adding the stock until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the fennel fronds until just wilted.
4. Meanwhile, place the lamb in a small roasting tin and roast for 10-15 minutes or according to taste. Cut into cutlets and serve on top of the risotto.
