Instructions
This is a great dish for using some leftover lamb from Sunday roast.
For the lamb croquettes:
Mix everything together but be careful not to overwork the mixture, check for seasoning. Set in the fridge until firm.
Roll into 25g balls and crumb (flour, egg and breadcrumbs)
Pea puree
Saute onions and garlic in oil. Add the water and bring to the boil, add the peas and boil for 1 minute. Strain the peas but reserve the liquid and peas separately. Add the peas to a blender and add enough water to make a smooth puree.
Mushroom Panna cotta
Sauté the onion and garlic until soft, add the thyme and mushrooms and then the cream, bring slowly to the boil, let it steep in hot place for at least an hour, season and add the bloomed gelatine. Strain the mixture and set in the fridge until needed.
Crumble
Rub the butter in the flour and sugar. Add the salt and milk. Lastly add the crushed juniper berries. Bake the crumble until golden, then pulse in a blender.
