Saint Lucian Sunday Lunch
Slow-cooked lamb stew flavoured with cumin, cinnamon and scotch bonnet served with macaroni cheese pie, roasted plantain and coleslaw.
Lenford is 35, grew up in St Lucia and played international rugby for the island's team. Now a coastal engineer, he lives in London with his wife and seven-month-old daughter.
Lenford: "My signature dish is a Saint Lucian Sunday lunch. We have stewed lamb, mac and cheese, roasted plantain, and a coleslaw to go with that as well."
Grace: "Lenford has got lots of sweet spices going into his marinade and his stew. He's got clove and cinnamon, a little bit of scotch bonnet. I really hope that he manages to cook that lamb so that it's just melt in the mouth."
Grace: "That lamb stew is so interesting. There's a fruity, savoury note. Your mac and cheese, it's rich. It's got great cheese flavour. It's really delicious."
Anna: "Lenford. There's a lot of food on this plate, so with regards to its presentation, it was always gonna suffer. I love your plantain. You've got this lovely blackened, caramelised sweetness on it, but the lamb is a bit tough."
Lenford did not win an apron in this round.
