    Deli-style olive sauce

    By Ed Smith

    Stuffed marinated olives and intense sun-dried tomatoes are boosted by fresh thyme, then loosened with the lamb’s braising liquor. It’s briny yet sweet, and lifts the meat beautifully.

    • Gluten Free
    • Preparation time: 10 minutes

    Serves: 4 - 6

    Ingredients

    ½ x 200g tub pimento stuffed olives
    40g sun-dried tomatoes
    ¼ x 20g pack thyme, leaves only
    2 tsp white wine vinegar
    2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    6-10 tbsp braising liquor from the roast lamb (recipe)

    Method

    1. Chop the olives and tomatoes into a coarse rubble (about 0.2cm pieces, but you don’t need to be exact). Transfer these, along with any juices and oils left on the board, to a mixing bowl. Add the thyme leaves, vinegar and oil.

    2. When ready to serve, stir in 6 tbsp (90ml) braising liquor from the lamb tin (above) to create a loose, spoonable salsa. Add more liquor if you think it needs it. Serve 2-3 generous spoonfuls per person over the carved lamb once plated.
