Butterflied Lamb Roast with Broccoli Smash, Gravy & Chocolate Pudding

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake).
2. Sprinkle chocolate sauce mix evenly over pudding. Slowly pour boiling water onto the back of a large metal spoon over the pudding, to cover evenly. Place baking dish on a baking tray (to prevent any spills while baking). Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until pudding bounces back when pressed gently in centre. Serve immediately. This dessert serves 8, so save some for later or share with friends!
3. Pudding with cream and a dusting of icing sugar.
4. Dice potatoes and carrot and cut first measure of onion into wedges. Toss with oil on 2 lined oven trays. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 15 minutes. Combine roasted veggies onto one tray and roast for further 10 minutes, until golden and tender. Reserve second tray. Cut broccoli into small florets and thinly slice second measure of onion and set aside for gravy.
5. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook lamb for 3 minutes each side, until browned (but not cooked through). Transfer lamb to reserved oven tray and cook on lower rack for 8-14 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Rest, covered. Reserve pan for gravy.
6. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Add broccoli and peas to pot and cook for about 5 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain well and return to pot along with butter. Mash and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
7. Return reserved pan to medium heat. Cook onion for about 4 minutes, until soft. Add butter, flour and sage and mustard spices and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add stock and whisk for about 3 minutes, until thickened.
8. Thinly slice lamb against the grain and add any resting juices to gravy.
9. Lamb, veggies and broccoli smash topped with gravy.
10. Turn oven to 180°C. Grease a large baking dish (about 28 x 22cm). Bring a full kettle to the boil.
11. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, egg and melted butter. Add chocolate pudding mix. Whisk gently until smooth and combined. Pour into prepared dish and smooth into an even layer with a spoon.
