Open out the lamb and place in an ovenproof pan. Moisten with the olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.

To make the *rosmarino pilau, soften the onion in the olive oil. Add the pasta and stir until lightly toasted. Add the stock, thyme and peas.

Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is tender.

Season to taste.
