Best Seared Lamb With White Bean And Mint Salad Recipes

LAMB AND WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Toss tomatoes and 1 teaspoon olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until lightly browned and soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, remaining tablespoon oil, and dill. Add pepperoncini, cucumbers, and lamb; mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add lettuce, and gently toss. Divide among bowls; scatter tomatoes and white bean salad on top. Serve.

SEARED TUNA, WHITE BEAN AND FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Season tuna generously on both sides with salt, then sprinkle with the black pepper, fennel seed and pollen (if using). Drizzle very lightly with olive oil and rub the seasoning into the fillets with your hands. Set aside at room temperature.
• Peel and dice the onion and soak in ice water for 10 minutes (this will tame its bite). Drain the beans and put in a bowl. Add a generous sprinkling of salt and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and stir. Drain onions and add to beans. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and set aside at room temperature.
• Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the lemon zest, garlic, a pinch of salt, crushed red pepper and 3 tablespoons olive oil.
• Place a wide cast iron pan over high heat. When it is hot, add tuna. Cook for about 2 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Take care not to let the spices scorch; reduce the heat if necessary. The exterior of the fish will be cooked, but the interior will be quite rare. For medium-rare, cook an additional 2 minutes on the second side. Remove from pan and transfer to a cutting board to cool.
• Using a very sharp knife or mandoline, slice fennel crosswise into very thin slices. Salt lightly and toss with dressing. Arrange dressed fennel around the edge of the platter, surrounding the beans.
• Cut the tuna in ½-inch slices and arrange over beans. Sprinkle with parsley and fennel fronds and serve at room temperature.

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.

WHITE BEAN AND MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight. Drain and place in a saucepan with water to cover and add carrot and onion. Bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Add salt and cook until beans are tender (about one hour). Drain and remove and discard carrot and onion.
• Make dressing. Peel the garlic and press it with the tines of a fork or through a garlic press. Place tablespoon of beans in a mixing bowl with garlic and mash to a puree.
• Add mustard and vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Gradually add olive oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly, until dressing has reached the consistency of mayonnaise. Add parsley, mint and beans and toss. Correct seasoning and serve at room temperature.

LAMB, FETA & MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spread the chips out onto a baking tray, then bake for 12 mins. Meanwhile, whisk together 4 tsp oil from the pepper jar with the red wine vinegar, chopped mint, sugar and some seasoning. Roughly tear the peppers into smaller chunks, then put into a large bowl with the feta and spinach leaves.
• Heat a griddle or frying pan, brush lamb with a little more oil from the pepper jar, then season. Cook for 2-3 mins on each side, then leave to rest on a board.
• Once the chips have cooked for 12 mins, remove the tray from the oven. Cut them in half, toss with 1 tsp more oil from the pepper jar, then roast for another 3 mins. Thinly slice the lamb. Toss the hot crispy chips through the salad with the dressing, arrange on a platter or 2 dinner plates and top with the lamb.

GRILLED LAMB SKEWERS WITH WHITE-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
• While grill is heating, mince garlic, then mash to a paste with salt and pepper using a large heavy knife. Reserve half of garlic paste in a large salad bowl.
• Whisk together remaining garlic paste and 2 tablespoons olive oil in another large bowl, then add lamb and toss to coat.
• Divide lamb among skewers, leaving a little space between pieces (for even cooking).
• Whisk vinegar into reserved garlic paste, then add remaining 1/4 cup oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add beans, celery, olives, pine nuts, and mint, then toss to coat.
• Grill lamb, turning as grill marks appear on each side, about 6 minutes total for medium-rare. Serve with bean salad.

LAMB AND WHITE BEANS WITH ROSEMARY

• To skillet, add onion, garlic, rosemary, and red-pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion has softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add beans, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low; cook until mixture is slightly thickened and saucy, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Place chops on top of beans in skillet (adding any juices that have accumulated on plate). Cover skillet, and simmer until meat is medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve chops with beans, and garnish with rosemary, if desired.
