Recipe:
Grilled feta-stuffed lamb salad with macadamias and truffle honey dressing
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 Australian Lamb Eye of Loin
- 1/4 cup Yarra Valley Dairy Feta Cheese
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Murray River Salt
- Brookfarm Macadamia Oil
Salad
- 2 cups rocket lettuce (arugula)
- 2 witlof, sliced (endive)
- 1 frissee lettuce, torn
- 1/3 cup Brookfarm Roasted Macadamia Nuts
- 3 tablespoons Evooroo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Valley Produce Company Truffle Honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Slice the lamb loins in half horizontally, leaving one side in tact so they can be butterflied open. Spread the inside of each with the feta cheese, leaving ½ inch at the edges, then fold back over. Season with the salt.
Heat a grill or heavy based pan over medium high heat, and add enough oil to form a thin coating. Add the lamb and cook for 2-3 minutes each side, for medium rare, or until cooked as desired. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Toss the lettuces and macadamias together in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil, honey and lemon and toss through the salad, season to taste.
To serve, slice the lamb and serve warm on the salad.
