    Wash the potatoes and cook in plenty of boiling salted water for about 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water and remove the skin. Clean and wash the sugar peas. Peel and chop onion.

  2. 2

    Wash the saddle of lamb, dab dry and rub with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 225 ° C/ gas: level 4) for 40-45 minutes. In the meantime, peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press.

  3. 3

    Wash the rosemary, thyme and a stalk of parsley. Pluck rosemary needles. Set aside some rosemary, thyme and some parsley for garnishing. Chop the remaining herbs. Crumble the toast.
