Hoisin Lamb fillet with green beans and chilly
INGREDIENTS
- 8 lamb fillets/tenderloins, trimmed
- 1 bunch green beans, cut into 3cm lengths, cooked
- 100g roasted peanuts
- ¼ cup mint leaves
- ¼ cup coriander leaves
- 1 red chilly, finely chopped
- rind and juice from a large lime
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Brush the lamb with combined sesame oil and hoisin. Preheat a non-stick pan to moderately hot. Keep the heat at moderately high.
Cook one side of lamb until the first sign of moisture appears on the uncooked side, turn and cook other side. You may need to turn the meat three times so all sides are browned
Test for doneness with tongs. Rare is soft when pressed, medium is springy and well done is very firm. Rest the lamb for a few minutes before serving. To serve, slice the lamb diagonally and serve on top of warm salad.
To make the salad
Cook the beans until just tender, toss with the butter, toasted walnuts, onion and coriander leaves, serve immediately.
