Sesame Chili And Parsley Crusted Lamb Fillets Recipes

SESAME CHILI AND PARSLEY CRUSTED LAMB FILLETS

Steps:

• Combine sesame seeds, chili flakes and parsley in a bowl.
• Combine lamb fillets in a large bowl with the oil.
• Place lamb one at a time in sesame seed mixture and coat each fillet all over.
• Cook either on a lightly oiled grill plate, fry pan, or on the BBQ until browned on both sides and cooked as desired. Cover and stand 5 Min's then slice thickly.
• I served mine over fruity saffron rice, but it also goes well with a crisp green salad topped with tomatoes and bocconcini.

BRAISED LAMB FILLETS WITH A CREAMY RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat some olive oil in a large pan, add lamb fillets and sear to brown both sides.
• Add leek, carrot and garlic stirring a couple minutes to soften leek, do not allow vegetables to brown.
• Pour in water and wine, add stock, balsamic vinegar and butter, stir to combine.
• Cook over a very low heat for 45 min's to 1 hour, until lamb is tender. Turn lamb a couple of times during cooking. (If using a whole lamb fillet cooking time will be longer becuase of the weight.).
• Remove lamb and keep warm, turn the heat back up, mix a little water with the cornflour and pour into pan, stir until sauce thickens. ( I use this more just to drizzle a little over the meat, rather than as a sauce, as it is already full of flavour, as is the risotto.).
• Serve meat over risotto, drizzle a small amount of pan sauce over, top with shaved parmesan ans drizzle with truffle oil.
• Risotto.
• Melt butter in a pan, add onion and garlic stir until onion softens, add rice and stir to coat in butter.
• Pour in water and wine, stir, add chicken stock and bring to the boil, turn heat down and simmer over a low heat until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked about 20 min's.
• Just before all the liquid has been absorbed add herbs, stir to combine.
• Once it is cooked remove from heat and add cheeses and pepper to taste, stir gently until cheese has melted.
• To Serve: Place risotto in the centre of a plate, slice lamb fillets into thin slices, drizzle a very small amount of reserved pan juice, top with parmesan shavings and drizzle with truffle oil.

MOROCCAN LAMB WITH TOMATO & COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the lamb with Moroccan spice. Heat the oil in a pan, add the lamb fillets and cook until the lamb is cooked as desired. Remove the lamb to a warm serving plate.
• Add the onion, garlic, red pepper and carrot to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and juice, and the Baby Peas, stirring to combine. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes.
• Spoon the sauce onto the prepared couscous. Cut the lamb into slices and serve on top of the sauce.

MUSHROOM STUFFED LAMB FILLETS

Steps:

• To make for 4 people just double above ingredients.
• Add oil and butter to a fry pan heat until butter melts. Add onion and garlic and cook until onions are soft.
• Add mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce, stir until mushroom are soft, throw in the thyme, parsley and rosemary and mix well. Add cream, breadcrumbs and pepper to taste combine and remove from heat.
• Place mixture in a separate bowl and add egg and veal mince, stirring until well combined.
• Take a meat mallet and pound lamb fillets to flatten slightly. Spread stuffing mixture all over the lamb fillet, take the second fillet and place on top, secure well with toothpicks.
• Place in an ovenproof dish and bake in pre heated oven 190c for 25-35 Min's (cook time depending on whether you like your meat rarer or more well done.). Remove from oven and rest for 5 Min's then slice in two.
• Serve on a bed of greens topped with red wine gravy. Since we are in October and this is the time, because of Halloween we can get pumpkins. I served pumpkin mash on the side but you can serve with any veg mash or potato.

• Serve lamb over couscous with a mint yogurt sauce.

• Cook for a couple of minutes (this can be done in advance).
