• See ‘Top Roast Tips!’ (below left). • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Lightly score lamb rump fat in a 1cm criss-cross pattern. Season lamb all over and place, fat-side down, in a large frying pan (no need for oil!). • Place pan over medium heat and cook undisturbed until golden, 10-12 minutes. • Increase the heat to high and sear lamb on all sides for 30 seconds. Transfer, fat-side up, to lined oven tray. • Roast for 15-20 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Remove from oven and rest for 10 minutes.
TIP: Starting the lamb in a cold pan helps the fat melt without burning.

• While the lamb is searing, place peeled pumpkin pieces in a baking dish. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until just tender, 20-25 minutes.

• While pumpkin is baking, trim green beans. • Slice lemon into wedges. • Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). • Pick thyme leaves. • In a medium bowl, combine cream (see ingredients), Dijon mustard, vegetable stock powder, half the thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper.

• Pour cream mixture over baked pumpkin, then gently shake the dish to coat. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese • Bake pumpkin gratin until golden and bubbling, 10-15 minutes.

• While lamb is resting, wipe out and return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook green beans, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a second medium bowl and allow to cool slightly. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add onion chutney, the balsamic vinegar, water and the remaining thyme and mix well. • Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Season to taste.

• To bowl with green beans, add rocket leaves and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to combine and season to taste. • Slice lamb. • Divide pumpkin gratin, lamb rump and lemony green bean salad between plates. • Spoon onion sauce over lamb. • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
