Grilled Marinated Spicy Lamb with Chunky Kumara and Green Bean Salad
It was very exciting when our daughter invited us to dinner at her new flat for the first time. Katie continues to grow in confidence in her own cooking. She found this recipe of mine on the Cuisine website and did a terrific job of preparing it for us. The combination of tender lamb, sweet kumara chunks, crisp green beans and a minty orange dressing makes this a great way to show off classic kiwi ingredients. Prepare everything ahead and leave the veges at room temperature, ready for the warm lamb to...
Lamb Cutlets with Minted Pea Puree and Ribbons of Parsnip and Carrot
I love to serve peas with lamb and with the fresh minty flavour in the pureed peas there’s no need for sauce. If you prefer you can add a little more stock to the puree to make it softer and more moist.
Lamb Mince Koftas with Cherry Tomato, Basil and Feta Salad
One year we visited Turkey and spent a few days sailing around the southern coast in a large yacht. Every night we went ashore and ate in local cafes on the waterfronts of the ports we visited. Long skewers of meat that were grilled over the coals were particularly enticing, and inspired this recipe. The secret to making these koftas is to combine the meat and spices together very well, working the mixture with your hands so it almost becomes a smooth paste.
Leg of Lamb Baked with Aubergine and Mint
A nice variation on roast leg of lamb. The lamb is slowly cooked in a covered oven dish, rather like braising. Delicious minty aromas fill the kitchen when the moist lamb dish is cooking, and slow-baking the aubergine makes it almost melt into the sauce.
