• Place potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the aroma of the garlic has mellowed. Add the brown sugar and red wine, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat, cover, and keep warm.

Place the spinach into the hot skillet, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook until the spinach has wilted.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the spices with a generous pinch of salt, then coat the lamb in the mix. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan. Sizzle the lamb, fat-side down, for 5 mins. Flip the lamb, then put the shallots, cut-side down, in the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10 mins for pink lamb, or 15 mins for medium. Remove the pan from the oven, then leave to stand for 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes on to boil and simmer until just cooked. Drain, then gently crush with a potato masher. Add the spring onions and lemon zest, season, then keep warm until ready to serve.
• Remove the lamb and shallots from the pan. Stir the capers, mint, lemon juice and a splash of olive oil (if needed) into the lamb juices to make a dressing. Slice the lamb and separate the shallots into layers. Spoon the potatoes onto warm plates, add slices of lamb and some shallots, then spoon over the dressing.

Steps:

• Mix the balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp olive oil and rosemary together in a bowl. Add the lamb steak, ensuring that it is completely covered in the marinade, and set aside.
• Boil the potatoes until tender. Lift out of the pan with a slotted spoon, keeping the pan of water simmering. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a frying pan, add the potatoes and garlic, and fry gently until golden.
• Sprinkle a little salt over the potatoes, then push to the side of the pan. Remove the garlic. Season the lamb and fry alongside the potatoes for 1-2 mins each side, depending on the thickness of your steak. Remove the lamb and potatoes and leave to rest in a warm place.
• Keep the pan on the heat and add the stock. Bring to the boil, scraping any sticky bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it bubble until reduced by half. Stir through the redcurrant jelly until melted. Taste and season, adding a dash of balsamic vinegar if it is too sweet.
• Meanwhile, blanch the beans in the simmering water for 3 mins, then drain. Return to the pan and stir through the butter, mint and seasoning.
• Serve the lamb with the potatoes and beans, and the sauce spooned over.
