Asparagus Salad Ingredients:
2 bunches asparagus, trimmed, halved diagonally
100g snow peas, trimmed, halved diagonally
2 gem lettuce, trimmed, leaves separated
2 radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced into rounds
80g feta, crumbled
½ cup small basil leaves
2 tbs natural sliced almonds, toasted
1 tbs white wine vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
¼ tsp sea salt flakes
¼ tsp caster sugar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Lamb Cutlets Ingredients:
300g quinces
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tbs olive oil
400g mayonnaise
18 lamb cutlets
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 tsp parsley, chopped
TABASCO® Original Red Sauce
Lamb Cutlets Method:
Place the quinces in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until soft. Drain and leave to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut each quince in half and remove the core, then peel and place in a large bowl.
Mash to a smooth purée, then stir in the garlic, 3 tablespoons of oil and the mayonnaise until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Rub the remaining oil over the lamb and season well. Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot, then add the lamb and cook for 5 – 7 minutes on each side until charred and just pink in the centre. Serve with the quince aioli scattered with chopped parsley and top with TABASCO® Original Red Sauce.
Asparagus Salad Method:
Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Cook asparagus and snow peas for 2 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Refresh under cold water. Drain.
Meanwhile, to make the vinaigrette, whisk all the ingredients together in a small jug until combined, then season.
Arrange lettuce, asparagus, snow peas and radish on a platter. Scatter over feta, drizzle with dressing, top with basil and almonds to serve.
Enjoy!
