Tie the herbs and lamb into a bundle with string secured at about 40mm intervals. Repeat the process with the remaining lamb and herbs.

Place the lamb in a roasting tin with the garlic doves.

Drizzle with 4 tbsp olive oil anc season with pepper.

Cook on the bottom runners of the roasting oven for about 20 minutes for medium rare.

Remove the lamb from the roasting tin and place covered with foil in the simmering oven while you prepare the dressing.

Reserve the pan juices and garlic cloves ana set aside.

For the dressing heat the remaining oil in the roasting pan then add the reserved garlic cloves along with the spring onions and tomatoes.

Gently fry for 5 minutes then lift out and set aside.

Pour in the balsamic vinegar and bubble on the boiling plate to reduce by half.

Add the stock and reserved pan juices bring to the boil and continue bubbling for 5 to 10 minutes.

Add the chopped fresh thyme and return the garlic cloves spring onions and tomatoes to the tin.

To serve cut the string cut the meat into thick slices and use the herbs for garnish. Serve drizzled with the warm onion and tomatoes in balsamic dressing.

To save time ask your butcher to trim the lamb fillets removing the silvery membrane. If you buy the fillets untrimmed do this yourself. aga tip: the cooking times given here are for lamb that is medium rare. If you prefer medium cooked lamb cook for a further 5 minutes; for well done cook for a further 10 minutes. Lamb fillets make a perfect roast for two or four people. Cooked very quickly with no waste they soon become a firm favourite. The roast herbs are meant for flavouring and garnish they are not to be eaten as the twigs will stick between your teeth.

This recipe is good served with potato puree.
