Garnish

If you have the pleasure of being able to get ahold of Puffed Potato then good for you! If you can’t get a hold of it you can use Puffed Wild Rice or Sev will do amazing - it really needs some crunch to elevate it even more.

8g Chives

  • Finely slice the Green Chillis and remove the seeds,

  • Finely chop the Chives.


Stage #2
>Cook it baby!

 
  • Right, so the majority of this is cold apart from the Lamb. Thats the way we enjoyed it but you can have the whole thing hot as-well - your choice!

  • If you have a Char Grill then game-on but we’re going to assume the majority of you don’t. If not get a large pan onto a high heat and set your oven to 180ºc. Start by charring off your Sumac Carrots - you want a good bit of caramelisation on them. Remove from the pan place onto a Baking Tray.

  • Add your Glazed Beets to the tray, pop them in the oven for around 8 minutes.

  • Wipe down your pan and pour in a glug of Oil. Add the Lamb Steaks and cook for 2 minutes each side. Add 30g Butter and baste for one minute. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes.

  • Remove the Veg from the oven. Slice the Lamb into bite sized pieces and get ready to plate.
