lamb loin (1 loin serves 2 people)
hot, sweet mustard
4 thin slices bacon or pancetta
fresh mint or fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
1 cup pesto, your own or jarred bought
2 tablespoons Cross & Blackwell's mint sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Spread lamb loin generously with mustard. Wrap with bacon or pancetta. Sprinkle with herbs. Preheat oven to 350°. Grill or panfry lamb on all sides. Place on cookie sheet or roasting pan and put in oven to finish cooking off. If you like your lamb rare, this should take about 5–10 minutes. Cook longer for more well-done lamb. Remove from oven and let meat rest 10 minutes before slicing.

To make sauce, combine pesto with mint sauce. Add fresh mint and rosemary. Combine well. Serve with sliced lamb.
