Medallions of lamb with creamy leeks and port sauce
Tender lamb medallions are coated in a mustard and herb crust, then paired with velvety creamed leeks with Stilton and a rich wine reduction. This sophisticated dish balances the savoury depth of succulent lamb with the creamy, mildly tangy sweetness of the leeks. Serve immediately while the lamb is perfectly tender and pink.
