Unfortunately it appears that Kerry is in emergency for the time being. I will usually wait for her but tonight the hunger pangs won. I did not eat lunch so not surprisingly by 5 o'clock I was getting just a little peckish!
The lamb surprised me by being tender in places and tough in other places. It is quite a small chop so I would not have expected so much variation.
I thought the rice was good. I fried a very thinly sliced onion in some olive oil until it was just beginning to colour, added some nice fat Thomsen raisins, added the rice and some Aleppo pepper and some Baharat. That Aleppo pepper sneaks up on you!
( just got a text to say she's on her way home !). The braised romaine lettuce would have benefited from more seasoning. And because I am still a Brit deep down I had to have mint sauce with my lamb chop.
Edited to fix multiple typos and to say that I topped my rice with some purchased crispy shallots
