Who made this dish?
Sean's signature dish: a rack of lamb seared and brushed with Dijon mustard, then coated in a herb and parmesan crust before being baked. Served with fondant potatoes, a spiced carrot puree and a red wine jus. Sean is a 39-year-old plumber from the Kentish coast who cooks British classics to relax after work. He talks about going heavy on the pepper in the puree, and seasoning the lamb to be golden brown on the outside, perfectly pink in the centre.
John on the lamb crust: clinging to the fat of the lamb with pistachio, rosemary and thyme, really beautiful and herby; the lamb is beautiful and the potatoes are wonderful.
Anna on the carrot puree: Sean went a little crazy with the pepper. Anna also notes that once the puree is mixed with the red wine sauce, the chemistry actually works: the acidity cuts through the sweetness of the carrot and mutes the over-spiciness, turning it into something really super.
Sean wins one of the first two aprons.
