Notes

This lamb can be served with virtually any vegetables, seasonal, or simply your favourites. Potato, turnip, and parsnip make a wonderful alternative or mashed as an additional side to the traditional mirepoix.
According to Wikipedia: The Espelette pepper (French: Piment d'Espelette ) is a variety of species C. annuum that is cultivated and harvested in the French commune of Espelette, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, traditionally the northern territory of the Basque people. Read more about this pepper here.
