1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp hoisin
Green bean and walnut salad
300 g green beans
30 g butter, melted
100 g walnut halves, toasted
half a small red onion, finely sliced
¼ cup coriander leaves
Method:
1. Brush the lamb fillets with combined sesame oil and hoisin. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat a non-stick pan to moderately hot. Keep the heat at moderately high.
2.Cook one side of lamb fillet until the first sign of moisture appears on the uncooked side, turn and cook other side. You may need to turn the meat 3 times so all sides are browned.
