Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Mix the Stilton and butter into a paste, lay it on a sheet of cling film and roll into a sausage, about 2.5cm/1in thick. Leave in the fridge to set.
  2. Then griddle the ciabatta on both sides until golden. Sear the lamb fillet for 2 minutes on each side, then leave to rest and slice. Finally place the rocket leaves and sliced lamb on the bread, top with discs of Stilton butter, leave to melt and serve.
