Ingredients

  • 400gm Quality Mark lamb rumps

  • 10 sprigs finely chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 cup walnuts

    lightly toasted
  • 6 fresh figs

  • 100g goats cheese

  • 1 bag salad leaves

  • 4 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Method

1

Preheat the barbecue or frying pan with a lid to a high temperature (250ºC).

2

Lightly oil the lamb and roll in the chopped rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.

3

In a small saucepan, combine the honey and balsamic vinegar, and cook gently until thickened slightly. Whisk in the olive oil and set aside.

4

Cook the lamb for 5 minutes on one side.

5

Then turn and cook for a further 4 minutes until medium rare, or to your liking.

6

Remove from the heat and set aside to rest for at least 10 minutes.

7

While the meat is resting, assemble the salad by placing the lettuce around a serving platter, top with the fresh chopped fruit, walnuts, and goat cheese.

8

Once the lamb has rested, thinly slice, and add to the salad. Serve immediately with a drizzle of the honey balsamic reduction.
