Serve the lamb atop the creamy leek and spinach mixture.

Fold in the spinach and mint until the leaves wilt.

Rest the meat for five minutes in a warm place.

Press the crust onto the lamb and bake for 6 minutes until golden.

Pulse bread, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cheese in a food processor until combined.

Heat 15ml of olive oil in an ovenproof pan and sear seasoned lamb medallions until browned.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
