Method
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Cut a slice off the top (the pointy end) of your garlic bulb, so you’re just revealing the cloves. Place in a little ramekin, cut side down. Roast for 20 mins or till the cloves are squeezably soft.
2. Peel your spuds. Dice into 2-3 cm bits. Get a large frying pan hot. Add a good gloss of oil. Tumble your spuds in. Season well. Sizzle till golden all over. Shake the pan often.
3. Pop a lid on your spud pan. Sizzle a little longer, over medium-low heat, till cooked through.
4. Uncover. Crank the heat to high. Swirl in 1 tsp rosemary and 1 tbsp vinegar. Cook a mo. Taste. Tweak seasoning. Remove from heat. Set aside.
5. When your garlic is squishy, squeeze the cloves out (all of them) into a food processor or blender. Purée with the crème fraîche, remaining rosemary, lemon zest, 1 tbsp olive oil and a good bit of salt and pepper. Whizz till smooth. Taste. Adjust seasoning.
6. Rinse your lettuce. Arrange on plates or a platter. Spritz with a little lemon juice. Gloss with a little oil. Tuck your spuds amongst the leaves. Shred your lamb. Add it to the mix. Dollop the dressing over. Finish with a little more lemon zest and pepper.
