Method

You’ll need: frying pan · saucepan · stick blender · sieve

1. Trim the cauliflower, break it into pieces and peel the garlic. Cook both in salted water until the cauliflower is soft.
2. Drain the cauliflower well and let it steam dry briefly. Blend it finely with the garlic and butter and season with salt.
3. Pat the lamb chops dry. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sear the meat over a high heat.
4. Fry the chops on both sides until browned on the outside. For children and in pregnancy, cook them right through. Season with salt and pepper at the end.
5. Taste the cauliflower purée again and keep it warm.
6. Spoon the hot cauliflower purée onto plates and arrange the lamb chops on top. Serve straight away.

Good to know

When you're in the mood for something hearty, this dish is just right. The purée turns surprisingly creamy, and the lamb chops bring plenty of flavour to the plate.

Swaps

Butter → ghee (similarly full flavour; contains milk); olive oil → avocado oil (heat-stable for searing); lamb chops → rump steak (also provides protein; in pregnancy, cook it right through too); cauliflower → celeriac (contains potassium, creamy texture as a purée)

Allergens

Contains milk (butter). Easy to adapt for children – just go easy on the pepper. In pregnancy, cook the lamb chops right through, serve everything piping hot and use fresh ingredients handled hygienically.
