A delicious example of this Italian variety, it’s savoury and ripe yet lively and fresh with a plush core of black fruits and just the right amount of tannic grip to counter the fat in the lamb. It’s a great alternative to lamb’s traditional partner, Cabernet Sauvignon. INGREDIENTS Lamb confit 2kg lamb neck, trimmed, sinew removed 200g sugar 200g salt 50g parsley stalks 1 tsp juniper berries 2 litres canola oil Roast parsley 3 bunches flat leaf parsley ,washed, dried, trimmed Mint syrup 1/3 cup, chopped mint leaves, firmly packed 95g raw sugar 100g white sugar 160ml water METHOD Lamb confit: combine sugar, salt, parsley stalks and juniper berries in a bowl.
