Lay out overlapping strips of bacon in the shape of a rectangle and spoon the mix over the top. Roll and refrigerate for two to four hours. Blanch the boudin in simmering water for 15 minutes, then gently sear in hot pan. Cut into portions and finish in the oven.

To plate - on each plate place 10g of spinach, 15g mashed potato, 15g of peach purée. Slice the roasted lamb and sit on spinach. Place boudin on the pea purée and the bhaji on the mash. Pour jus around. Serve.
