Grilled Lamb Sausages With Bean Tomato And Scallion Salad Recipes

GRILLED LAMB SAUSAGE WITH GOAT CHEESE, HEIRLOOM TOMATOES, OLIVES AND HERBS

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, shallots, mustard and honey in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Slowly stir in the olive oil. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• For the salad: Heat the grill for direct grilling. Brush the sausages with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the sausages until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside for 5 minutes. Toss the tomatoes, olives, parsley, pistachios, cheese, greens, onions, basil and tarragon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and some of the vinaigrette. Serve with the sausages.

SPICE-CRUSTED LAMB WITH WHITE BEAN & TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F (180 degrees C/350 degrees F fan).
• Put the neck fillets into a dish. Roughly crush the coriander and fennel seeds in a pestle and mortar, then mix with the chile flakes and half the olive oil. Press all over the lamb, season well and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the tomatoes and beans on a serving platter. Mix the vinegar and lemon juice with some seasoning, then whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil; pour this over the tomatoes and beans.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof frying pan and fry the spiced lamb on all sides until seared and golden all over. Transfer to the oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes (the lamb should still be pink in the middle). Rest for 5 minutes, then slice and gently toss through the beans and tomato salad. Scatter with the basil leaves and serve.
