Top wine pairings for lamb

It’s true that lamb is one of the most wine-friendly of meats, as at home with red Bordeaux and Rioja as it is with the fruitier wines of the new world. But if you’re looking for a spot-on wine pairing it’s worth thinking just how - and for how long - you’re going to cook it.

Although the blossom is out it still feels a bit nippy at night so here's a light lunch to enjoy with a couple of friends that has a touch of spring about it but still includes a warming stew.

Following a well-established tradition of cooking with my mate @fionasims when I go to stay with her on the IOW. This time from @noorishbynoor’s spectacular new book Lugma. We made the charred courgettes with saffron, kefir and sticky onions, bottom of the pot chicken and rice and sunrise clementines with hibiscus and orange oil. Quite a lot of work - more project cooking than quick’n’easy which it’s why it’s great to cook with someone else - but the flavours were incredible. If you’re a paid subscriber to Eat This, Drink That it’s my giveaway this month (see link in biog) . . . #lugma #noormurad #cookingwithfriendsHappy Easter all with this charmingly decorated tree in the back streets of Deal. Plus some last minute wine recs in this week’s Friday 5 for those of you whose family have already drunk them out of house and home …Always knew @juliet49londonrdstroud was going to be my kinda restaurant from the oysters to the gloriously fresh asparagus with broad beans and stracciatella, textbook steak tartare and allumettes and tarte tatin. @ellypear cracking up over her TWO chocolate desserts. Me in seventh heaven with chips and roasties. Such a great place @williammrees and a lovely, lovely teamBristol’s latest opening @ragu.restaurant.bristol taking their name seriously with an (absolutely delicious) pea ragu. Served with shoulder of lamb, salsa verde and some wicked roast AND fried potatoes (as a side). Great focaccia with whipped bottarga butter too. #notafreebie Follow on Instagram
