Bryan Webb marinates these Welsh lamb rumps in a delicious garlic and herb oil to maximise their flavour, before serving with a Mediterranean-inspired side of pesto-crusted aubergines.
The day before cooking, add the herbs, garlic, peppercorns, lemon juice and olive oil to a blender and blitz until puréed. Pour over the lamb rumps, wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 24 hours
To prepare the pesto, toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over a medium heat until golden brown. In a food processor, blitz the garlic, basil leaves, olive oil and pine nuts - if the pesto is too thick, add more oil to loosen it. Remove from the food processor, mix through the Parmesan and store in an airtight container in the fridge
Remove the rump from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, cut the aubergine in half, slash the cut surface with a sharp knife and season with salt and pepper and a drizzle of oil
Bake the aubergines in the oven for 20 minutes until soft. Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a high heat
