Lamb With Lemon and Sage

If there is one book I’ve purchased recently that has really inspired me to cook it is Ross Dobson’s Grillhouse: Gastropub at Home. It has certainly reinvigorated my food photographs too. Anyone notice a certain, new, ‘feel’to my recent photographic endevours? No? Oh well…This dish Lamb With Lemon and Sage is taken from the book. The original included capers, naturally I had none, so in this rendition they were excluded. If they were utilised then the choice of wine really should have been a white (something with high acidity, a Sauvignon Blanc or similar) rather than the red – Oscar’s Red – deliciously easy drinking as it was – that didn’t quite hold up to the lemons…
