METHOD
Lamb terrine: stage 1
- Pre-heat oven on Conventional at 120°C. Place medium Gourmet oven dish on level 2 and heat (empty) for 10 minutes.
- Place lamb leg in the hot Gourmet oven dish with duck fat, rosemary and garlic. Cover with foil or lid and cook for 6 hours.
- Remove lamb from duck fat and separate the meat from the bones. Cool and set aside to be used in stage 2.
- Strain the duck fat and set in the refrigerator.
Lamb terrine: stage 2
- Remove skin from the confit garlic bulb, discard skin and puree the pulp with a spoon.
- In a bowl combine all remaining ingredients in stage 2.
- Fold a strip of baking paper to the width of the base of a rectangular terrine mould measuring 11 cm x 28. Make sure it is long enough to come up the ends to 2 cm above the top of the terrine.
- Press the lamb mixture into the lined mould. Cover with a strip of baking paper and weigh down with heavy cans. Set in refrigerator overnight to set.
Crispy kale and salt bush
- Heat oil and fry kale and salt bush until crispy, drain on paper towel.
- Place kale and salt bush on a baking paper lined baking tray in the oven on shelf position 3, Drying Function at 90°C. Dry for 2-4 hours depending on the size of the leaves, or until crisp.
Mustard foam
- Combine all ingredients except the oil in a stainless steel jug or cylindrical vessel; gradually add the oil whilst mixing with a stick blender until you have reached the consistency of a mayonnaise. Set aside.
Brown butter
- Place butter in a small pan on medium high heat, Induction setting 6-7. Cook until the butter reaches 175°C and is a lovely nutty brown colour. Drain the clear brown butter into a bowl, leaving the milk solids behind. Discard the milk solids.
Pears
- Pear wedges; cut a pear into 6 even wedges, remove core and peel with a paring knife. Set aside in water with a slice of lemon until required.
- Pear crudités; slice unpeeled pears vertically to 1 mm thickness on a mandolin. Stack 2-3 slices together; using a 3 cm diameter cutter cut discs of pear, avoiding the skin and core. Place in the water with lemon.
- Diced pear; peel and finely dice the remaining pear and set aside in acidulated water as above.
- Heat a small frying pan on medium heat, Induction setting 6, add the diced pear and gently heat through for about 3 minutes. The pear should still have crunch. Set aside until required.
- Pre-heat Fan Grill at 200°C. Brush pear wedges with butter and place on universal tray. Grill for 5 minutes or until golden in colour. Keep warm.
Mustard foam
- Re-heat on low heat, Induction setting 3, whisking constantly until warmed through. Keep warm.
Lamb backstrap
- Brush lamb backstrap with oil and season with salt. Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat, Induction setting 7-8. Brown the meat on all sides and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm whilst resting for 5-7 minutes before cutting into 2 cm x 8 cm portions.
Lamb terrine
- Cut terrine into portions of a similar size to the backstrap 2 cm x 8 cm. Heat a clean pan on medium high heat, Induction setting 6-8, pour in the olive oil. Sear the lamb terrine portions on presentation side only for 1 minute.
To serve
- Place lamb backstrap portion on left side of the plate and a terrine portion opposite on the right.
- Place 3 pear wedges around the plate. Top the lamb backstrap with chopped macadamia nuts and top the lamb terrine with a small amount of kale and salt bush.
- Scatter the buttered pear cubes around the plate. Stand the pear crudités up against the backstrap and terrine and dot the mustard foam around the plate.
- Serve immediately.
Hints and tips
- Strain duck fat and filter. Store for another use. The lamb juices which settle at the bottom of the duck fat can be strained and frozen for later use.
- Remaining terrine will keep for one week covered in the refrigerator, or will freeze for one month.
- Remaining brown butter will keep for 2 weeks, refrigerated.
- The kale can be cooked on Fan Plus at 90°C if your oven does not have Drying function.
- A loaf pan and ceramic terrine mould can be used in place of a cast iron terrine mould.
- Salt bush can be ordered online if not available at your local grocer.
