Ingredients:
4 x 200g individual portions Scotch Lamb rump
4 tbsp rapeseed oil
250g A selection of Scottish greens
250g local potatoes
1 ltr lamb stock
25ml Tomatin Cask Strength
Hazelnut Dukkah
400g chopped skinned roasted hazelnuts
300g sesame seeds, toasted
6 tbsp coriander seeds
4 tbsp garlic powder
6 tbsp cumin seeds
4 tbsp cracked pepper
3 tbsp hebridean sea salt
Method:
1. To make the hazelnut dukkah, add the hazelnuts into a food processor until coarse. Then place in a bowl. With a pestle and mortar grind down all the other ingredients until finely crushed and add in with the hazelnuts (can be stored in an air tight container in a fridge for up 3 weeks).
2. Heat an oven to 200ºC.
3. Mix 1 tbsp of oil with 2 tbsp of the hazelnut dukkah and rub over the lamb. Then seal the meat in a pan and place in the oven for 20 mins.
4. Half the potatoes and place in the same pan as the lamb for the remaining 10 mins.
5. After 20 mins remove the dish from the oven and leave the lamb on a tray to rest for 15 mins.
6. Meanwhile cook the greens in the same pan as used for the lamb on a high heat before making the sauce.
7. Take the lamb stock and pour into the pan. Reduce by two thirds.
8. Season sauce to taste and add the 25ml measure of malt at the last minute before serving.
9. To serve, place potatoes on a plate along with the greens. Then add the sliced rump of lamb over the top and spoon some gravy over the dish. To garnish, sprinkle with some of the crust for some crunch.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
