  1. WHAT A GEM

    Place the Gem Squash in a pot, fully submerge in water, and place over a high heat. Once boiling, cook for 20-25 minutes until easily pierced through with a knife. Remove from the pot, drain the water, and cut the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and discard, then scoop out the flesh and return to the pot. Add a small knob of butter or a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Mash with a fork until smooth. Cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.

  2. KEEP C-ALMOND

    Place a pan over a medium heat with the Flaked Almonds. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.

  3. CHOP CHOP!

    Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb chops dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the chops, fat-side down, for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Then, sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until sealed, browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan, season and set aside.

  4. DRUNKEN CHOPS

    Boil the kettle. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil, if necessary. Add the onion slices and fry for 4-5 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the red wine & port and the rinsed Grapes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until almost all evaporated. Add 100ml of boiling water and the stock and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the cooked lamb chops and baste with the sauce until fully coated.

  5. CRUNCHY SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the rinsed Green Leaves, a drizzle of oil, ½ the toasted almonds, and some seasoning.

  6. WHAT A GRAPE DINNER!

    Pile up the Gem Squash mash and side with the lamb chops. Pour over the sticky grape sauce and serve the almond salad on the side. Scatter over the remaining almonds and the chopped parsley. Delicious, Chef!
