METHOD
1. For the soué, press the raspberries through a ne sieve to
produce 180 g of purée. Put this into a heavy-bottomed pan,
add the lemon juice and reduce down to a thick jam, stirring
from time to time and being careful not to let it catch and burn.
2. Put 45 g of the sugar in a separate pan. Melt it and then boil
until it becomes a thick syrup (121°C on a sugar thermometer).
To test without a thermometer, dip a teaspoon into the syrup
and then dip quickly into cold water. You should be able to roll
the cooling syrup into a ball between your ngers. Be careful as
the syrup is extremely hot. When it has reached the right point,
stir the hot syrup into the raspberry jam.
3. Mix the framboise and cornour together and stir into the
jam over the heat. Turn the jam into a small bowl, sprinkle the
surface with icing sugar and cover with cling lm.
4. Preheat the oven (not grill) to 180 °C shelf level 2 (conventional
oven), 160 °C (fan oven) or gas mark 4 centre shelf.
5. Whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar until you can
form soft peaks, then fold in the remaining caster sugar. Lightly
fold the whites into the jam, leaving thin traces of white visible
in the mixture.
6. Spoon into four large buttered and sugared ramekins, place
these on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.
7. Dust with icing sugar.
INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 100 g caster sugar

RASPBERRY SOUFFLÉ
SLOW BAKED LEG OF LAMB
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C (for a conventional oven), 200 °C (for a
fan oven) or gas mark 7.
2. Pull the small sprigs o the rosemary branches and set aside with
the garlic.
3. Using the tip of a paring knife, make up to 20 well-spaced cuts into
the esh of the lamb, about 2.5 cm inch deep. Divide the rosemary
sprigs, garlic and anchovies and push down into the cuts. Place
the leg on a large roasting tin and pour over the oil, massaging it
all over the joint. Season well with salt and pepper and pour the
wine and 250 ml water into the tin.
4. Put into the oven and sear for 15 minutes, then turn the
temperature right down to 130 °C (conventional oven), 110 °C
(fan oven) or gas mark 1 and roast for 4-5 hours, basting every
30minutes or so. Basting frequently helps to keep the meat moist
and encourages the build up of a good glaze on the outside. Add
more liquid (wine or water) if the tin looks dry Ð there should
always be liquid in the tin throughout this cooking process.
5. The meat is ready when it starts to fall o the bone, at which point
it should have a core temperature of 90 °C. Remove from the oven,
transfer to a warmed carving dish, cover loosely with foil and leave
to rest in a warm place for 30-45 minutes before carving.
6. Pour the juices from the tin into a tall hi-ball glass and allow to
settle. Spoon the fat from the top of the glass. There should be
enough sticky, reduced juices for an intense gravy hit if not, pour
the juices you have back into the roasting tin and put it over the
heat, pour in a splash of water or wine and deglaze the tin scraping
up all the sticky bits from the base. Boil fast until syrupy, taste and
correct the seasoning.
