METHOD
Artichoke puree and skins
- Place the artichokes in a perforated steam tray and steam at 100°C for 30 minutes, or until soft.
- When cool enough to handle, cut a slit down one side and scoop out all the flesh, whilst attempting to keep the skin in 1 whole piece if possible.
- Place the flesh into a blender with the coconut milk and blend until you have reached a smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Brush the artichoke skins with coconut oil and season with a little salt. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and place in the Warming Drawer or in the Oven on Drying function at 80°C.
- Dehydrate for 3 hours or until crispy.
Grain salad
- Place the quinoa, brown rice and buckwheat in a solid steam tray with 450-500mls of water or stock. Steam at 100°C for 25 minutes.
- Place the cooked grains in a bowl, add the amaranth, nuts, seeds and chopped parsley.
- Whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, walnut oil, orange juice and zest and add to the salad.
Lamb
- Mix together the cumin, sumac and garlic with some oil to make a paste and rub into the lamb.
- Place a pan on a medium-high heat, Induction 7. Once the pan is hot, add the lamb and cook for approximately 3 minutes each side, or until cooked to your liking.
- Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes. The Warming Drawer is ideal for this.
To serve
- Warm the puree in the steam oven at 100˚C for 5 minutes.
Note
- A delicious recovery meal that is also dinner party worthy.
- When preparing the dish, make extra grain salad and enjoy leftovers for lunch the next day.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute lamb for tofu or tempeh.
- Average weight of lamb backstrap is 200g, recipe uses 4 x backstraps.
- To make this into a quicker and easier dinner, roughly peel the artichokes and place them in the steam oven at the same time as the grains. Once cooked, make a mash with coconut milk and serve alongside the lamb and salad.
