For the pea purée:

For the lamb:
- Cook the jersey royal, mint, salt and water. Bring to a boil and cook until firm and soft.
- Blanch the leeks in boiling salted water. Remove, and cool down under cold running water.
- Add oil into a hot pan. Place the lamb skin side down into the pan and brown until it is coloured on all sides.
- Place onto a roasting tray, place into an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius, and cook for 15 minutes. Then, rest for 6 minutes.
- Turn the grill on to max heat, and while the lamb rests, grill the leeks cut side up until blackened.
- Arrange on a large plate.
