BUTTERY POTATOES
Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot (with a lid) of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter and seasoning. Replace the lid and shake the pot until the butter is melted. Cover and set aside.
MINT SALSA VERDE
In a small bowl, combine the chopped capers, the chopped mint, ½ the chopped parsley, the vinegar (to taste), the mustard, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a blender (optional) and pulse until combined.
LOVELY LAMB
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the lamb until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the grated garlic. Remove from the pan, season, and rest for 5 minutes.
PEAS PLEASE
Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside in a salad bowl. Add the buttery potatoes, the chopped gherkins, the crumbled feta, the remaining parsley, and seasoning. Toss to combine.
