This elegant dish of roasted lamb chops with spinach and turnip purée offers a sophisticated twist on a classic roast. The rack of lamb is seared until golden and then roasted to succulent perfection, paired with a vibrant bed of wilted spinach. Instead of traditional mash, a silky turnip purée provides a lighter, earthy alternative that complements the richness of the meat and the sweet notes of the Marsala reduction.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe prioritises high-quality protein and nutrient-dense greens while keeping carbohydrates in check. The use of turnips provides a lower-glycaemic option without sacrificing the comforting texture of a purée. It is an ideal choice for a healthy weekend dinner or a special occasion where flavour and nutrition are equally important.

Ingredients for Lamb Chops and Spinach and Turnip Purée

675g turnips, peeled, cut into 1" pieces
Sal kosher
120ml de nata para montar
3 cucharaditas de aceite de oliva, divididas
1.1kg rack of lamb (1 or 2 racks), bones frenched

How to make Lamb Chops and Spinach and Turnip Purée

Preheat oven to 204°C. Cook turnips in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until tender, 10-15 minutes. Drain. Return to pan; add cream. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cream coats turnips, about 4 minutes. Purée turnip mixture in a food processor or with an immersion blender until smooth. Cover and keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Cook fat side down until brown, 5-8 minutes.

Turn lamb over. Tuck 4 thyme sprigs under; place in oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centre registers 52°C for medium-rare, 15-25 minutes. Let rest on a plate for 10 minutes.

Drain fat from skillet; add Marsala. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring and scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet, until reduced by half, 5-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and remaining thyme sprig; stir until beginning to brown, about 1 minute; discard garlic and thyme sprig. Add spinach by the handful, tossing and allowing it to wilt slightly between additions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes.

Cut lamb between bones into chops and serve with spinach, turnip purée, and Marsala sauce.
