Lamb cutlets with mash recipe (serves 4)

Ingredients 12 lamb cutlets (3 per person) 4 large potatoes Green beans Redcurrant jelly

Method Peel and cut the potatoes into chucks and boil in lightly salted water until soft. Mash with butter and cream and season to taste. Meanwhile heat olive oil in a frying pan and stack the cutlets fat side down on the hot pan. Being careful not to let the fat burn you, make sure the fat is crisping up and browning, this will add delicious flavour. Remove the cutlets from the pan and grill on a high heat for 5 minutes each side, the meat should still be pink in the middle. Deglaze the frying pan with some red wine to use as a jus. Serve the lamb and mash with steamed green beans and redcurrant jelly.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
