Salt and pepper

 

To make the salad:

4 endives

1 red apple

Tarragon leaves

To make the blue cheese vinaigrette:

50 g cider vinegar

125g blue cheese

  1. Season the lamb on both sides, place it skin side down, and bone side up, on a baking sheet.
  2. Add the water to the bottom of the tray.
  3. Roast the lamb for 1 hour on each side at 180ºc, basting it every 15 minutes with the juice that it releases.
  4. After the first hour, turn it over and roast it for another 60 minutes. The first 30 minutes baste it with the liquid from the tray.
  5. If you run out of liquid in the tray, add water over the lamb, but in the last 15 minutes never over the lamb, only a little in the tray if it is drying out.
  6. Continue roasting it and, for the last 10 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 200ºc so that the skin is well browned and a little crunchy.
