The 5-A-Day Menu Planner
by Susannah Blake
Serves 4
Ingredients
• 4-8 lamb cutlets
• 4 tbsp. olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 cup red wine
• 2/3 cup port
• 1 cup beef stock
• 2 cups blueberries
• 4 tsp. cornstarch, dissolved in 4 tbsp. cold water
• 8 cups spinach, thick stalks discarded
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the broiler.
Season the cutlets with salt and pepper and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat half the oil in a pan and gently fry half the garlic about 1 minute. Add the wine, port, and stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer vigorously 2 minutes. Add the blueberries and simmer a further 1 minute, then add the cornstarch mixture, stirring until it thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the sauce is simmering, fry the remaining garlic in the remaining oil about 1 minute, then add the spinach and saute about 3 minutes until it just wilts.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve with the lamb cutlets (1 to 2 per person, as required) and blueberry sauce.
