LAMB, LIME AND MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the garlic, cilantro stems, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil.
• Spread the paste on both sides of the lamb and marinate for ½ hour.
• Warm remaining oil in a large, heavy skillet, cooking the steak on each side 3 to 4 minutes for medium rare.
• Remove from pan and let cool.
• Cut the lamb into strips.
• Divide the lettuce leaves among 4 plates and arrange the mango, avocado, green onions, and strips of lamb on top.
• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
• Drizzle the salad with the dressing and scatter the reserved cilantro leaves over the top.

GRILLED LEG OF LAMB WITH MANGO AND MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all marinade ingredients together and pour over lamb. Cover and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• Remove lamb from marinade. Stud with garlic cloves and rosemary leaves.
• Season with Hawaiian sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill to medium-rare, (130 degrees F internal temperature registers on an instant-read thermometer), over kiawe wood coals. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• In a small saucepot add the vinegar and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and begins to turn light brown. Add wine and cook down, reducing by half. Add the remaining ingredients and half the mint. Simmer 10 minutes to let flavors marry. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Stir in remaining mint just before serving.
• Slice the lamb thinly across the grain. On a platter, fan the lamb over grilled vegetables and grilled mango. Top the lamb with some of the sauce. Garnish with crumbled Feta cheese and mint sprigs.

MARINATED LAMB STEAKS WITH BARLEY SALAD

Steps:

• Mix together 1 tbsp oil, the garlic, chilli, half the mint and some salt and pepper. Rub all over the steaks, then if you have time, leave to marinate for up to 2 hrs.
• Cook the pearl barley in boiling, salted water until tender, but not too soft, about 20 mins. Cook the beans and peas in the same pan for the last 2 mins. Drain really well, then tip into a large bowl. Add the red onion, remaining mint, lemon zest and juice, remaining oil, salt and pepper. Toss everything together.
• Heat a griddle or frying pan until almost smoking and cook the lamb for 4 mins on each side for pink, or longer if you prefer your meat well done. Divide the barley salad between 2 plates and serve with the grilled lamb, drizzled with any pan juices.

MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• I find the easiest way to cut up mango for this is to cut off as much as you can, slicing along the side of the pit.
• You can tell what way the pit grows by its shape.
• Score the mango halves lengthways, then crossways, into 3/4 inch cubes, going through to the skin, but not through it.
• Turn the mango halves inside out and slice off the cubes.
• Toss with remaining ingredients.
• Goes well with any Thai or Indonesian dish.
• Like Indonesian Ginger Chicken!

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH SPICY MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Peel, pit, and coarsely chop mango. Finely chop shallot. In a blender purée mango and shallot with lime juice, sugar, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth. Transfer sauce to a bowl and if too thick whisk in some water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill lamb on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
• Serve chops topped with sauce and garnished with lime wedges and cilantro.
