  1. Serves 4 Prep time 15 mins, cook 20 mins This take on a classic is worthy of any fine-dining affair. Use Flinders Island lamb, if available.

  2. Open out the flap (apron) of the short loin flat on a work surface with the bone side closest to you. Place pancetta, overlapping slightly, along the apron and scatter herbs and porcini evenly over. Roll away from you to enclose filling and form a cylinder. Cut through the bone where the butcher has made an incision (see note) to create 4 large round chops. Secure each with a toothpick and tie a piece of kitchen string around to hold.

  3. Preheat oven to 200C. Heat a chargrill pan over high heat, brush lamb with oil and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden, then transfer to an oven tray and roast for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare.

  4. Meanwhile, for mint peas and pancetta, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add onion and pancetta and cook for 5-6 minutes or until soft, add peas, stir to combine, then deglaze with wine. Add stock and cook for 5 minutes or until peas are soft. Add mint, stir to combine and serve with lamb.
