Preparation steps

1.

Pat lamb dry and rub with salt and pepper and sun-dried tomato pesto. Place in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 200°C (fan: 180°C, gas mark 3-4) (approximately 400°F), 60-70 minutes. Peel onions and garlic and dice. About 30 minutes before the end of cooking time, place onions and garlic in  roasting pan. Deglaze pan drippings with vermouth, then pour in lamb stock. Rinse zucchini, wipe dry and cut into thick slices. Rinse cherry tomatoes, wipe dry and halve.

2.

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick pan and sauté zucchini for about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Rinse basil, shake dry and pluck leaves from stems, then fold basil leaves into vegetables. Remove lamb from pan, cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes. Pour gravy through a sieve into a small saucepan. Mix cornstarch in a bowl with a little cold water, then whisk mixture into stock and bring to a boil again. Season with salt and pepper. Cut lamb into slices and serve with sauce and vegetables. Garnish with basil, if desired.
