A light Asian inspired salad that's perfect for the warmer months with the lamb grilled on the barbecue. The recipe calls for blanched green beans but we've also swapped them for broccolini to a great success - give it a go!

Ingredients

Lamb
  • 8 quality mark lamb filleti

  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce

Green beans and walnut salad
  • 300g green beans

  • 30g melted butter

  • 100g walnuts

    lightly toasted
  • 1/2 red onion

    finely sliced
  • a small handful of fresh coriander

Method

To Make Lamb
1

Brush the lamb with combined sesame oil and hoisin.

2

Preheat a non-stick pan to moderately hot. Keep the heat at moderately high.

3

Cook one side of lamb until the first sign of moisture appears on the uncooked side, turn and cook other side.

4

You may need to turn the meat three times so all sides are browned.

5

Test for doneness with tongs. Rare is soft when pressed, medium is springy and well done is very firm.

6

Rest the lamb for a few minutes before serving.

7

To serve, slice the lamb diagonally and serve on top of warm salad.

To Make Salad
1

Cook the beans until just tender, toss with the butter, toasted walnuts, onion and coriander leaves, serve immediately.
