Since it's St Patrick's Day this week we couldn't resist a recipe with a little Irish twist. Known for their love of potatoes there are some cracking dishes but we couldnt go past colcannon, a buttery mash with spring onion. We've paired it with some lovely southwest lamb, baby carrots and a quick pan gravy for a delicous finish. Naturally we recommend pairing this with your favourite tipple, maybe a Guinness.

Pot
Frypan
Peel and dice potatoes, place in a pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain when cooked for Step 2. Finely slice spring onions. Scrub baby carrot clean. Put a pot of water on for Step 4.
Tip! Peeling the baby carrots is optional.
Heat milk in a small pot with half the butter and the spring onions, bring to the boil and turn off heat. Mash the potatoes and add the milk mix gradually to create a smooth buttery mash. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat a pan over high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper, sear for 3-4 minutes on either side. Set aside to keep warm. Add the wine/stock to the pan and scrape up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Add 1⁄4 cup water and simmer to reduce by half. Turn heat off and add the remaining butter, swirl to combine and add the lamb and any juices back into the pan.
While lamb is cooking, add baby carrots to the boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes until tender. Drain.
Tip! you can add some butter or olive oil to the carrots if you like but we found that the gravy was enough.
Divide champ between plates, add the lamb and baby carrots and spoon over the pan gravy.
