  • ½ bunch pea shoots
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt

Method

For the Lamb Neck and Peas:

  2. When the braised lamb is tender, de-bone it and press it between two trays. Crisp the pressed lamb in a very hot fry pan. Cook the peas.

To Serve:

  1. Put the yogurt on a serving plate and cover with peas and pea shoots.
  2. Place the crispy lamb on top and finish with spoonful of reduced braising liquid and Aleppo pepper.
