Marinated Lamb And Mango Salad Recipes

GRILLED LEG OF LAMB WITH MANGO AND MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all marinade ingredients together and pour over lamb. Cover and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• Remove lamb from marinade. Stud with garlic cloves and rosemary leaves.
• Season with Hawaiian sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill to medium-rare, (130 degrees F internal temperature registers on an instant-read thermometer), over kiawe wood coals. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• In a small saucepot add the vinegar and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and begins to turn light brown. Add wine and cook down, reducing by half. Add the remaining ingredients and half the mint. Simmer 10 minutes to let flavors marry. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Stir in remaining mint just before serving.
• Slice the lamb thinly across the grain. On a platter, fan the lamb over grilled vegetables and grilled mango. Top the lamb with some of the sauce. Garnish with crumbled Feta cheese and mint sprigs.

MARINATED LAMB

Steps:

• Lamb: Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bash up the coriander and mint and mix with the yogurt, garlic, and seasoning. Reserve half to use as a sauce once the lamb is cooked.
• Score the lamb pieces, season with the salt and pepper and mix with half the marinade and the chickpeas, so it is all coated.
• Transfer the marinade and lamb to a plastic bag and seal. Place in the refrigerator until required.
• To cook, place the meat directly on the oven shelf above the tray of vegetables for approximately 45 minutes.
• Vegetables: Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place all the vegetables in a roasting tray, add the chickpeas, cumin, coriander seeds, nutmeg, sea salt, pepper, and olive oil and toss together.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes then remove the foil and continue roasting for 20 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and golden.

MARINATED LAMB AND MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Remove sinew from Lamb fillets and cut to size. About 8-10cm in length is perfect.
• Combine ingredients for the marinade and pour over lamb making sure fillets are totally coated. Marinating for a minimum of 2-3 hours is preferable. Overnight even better.
• Place lamb in a hot non stick pan or griddle (save as much of the marinade in the bowl as possible) and cook on a medium heat turning only once for around 2 minutes on each side. Medium rare is best. There is no need to oil your pan.
• Remove from pan and allow to stand for 3-4 minutes before slicing. This will allow enough time to toss your salad.
• Combine salad ingredients saving half the feta and drizzle with a little olive oil. Top with sliced lamb fillets and pour the remaining marinade over the top. Crumble remaining feta as a garnish and serve.
• Lovely!

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH SPICY MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Peel, pit, and coarsely chop mango. Finely chop shallot. In a blender purée mango and shallot with lime juice, sugar, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth. Transfer sauce to a bowl and if too thick whisk in some water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill lamb on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
• Serve chops topped with sauce and garnished with lime wedges and cilantro.

MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• I find the easiest way to cut up mango for this is to cut off as much as you can, slicing along the side of the pit.
• You can tell what way the pit grows by its shape.
• Score the mango halves lengthways, then crossways, into 3/4 inch cubes, going through to the skin, but not through it.
• Turn the mango halves inside out and slice off the cubes.
• Toss with remaining ingredients.
• Goes well with any Thai or Indonesian dish.
• Like Indonesian Ginger Chicken!

LIGHT MEDITERRANEAN SALAD WITH LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the chops, coat well and refrigerate, covered, to marinate for 20 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, combine all of the salad ingredients in a single large bowl.
• 3. Combine all of the dressing ingredients, then fold into the salad. Refrigerate the salad for up to 2 hours before serving, if necessary.
• 4. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade. Broil or grill about 3 inches from the heat source for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat. Serve immediately with the salad alongside.

YOGURT-MARINATED LEG OF LAMB WITH CARDAMOM AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425º. Remove as much of the surface fat as is practical from the lamb. Mix together the yogurt, mint, orange zest, cardamom, salt and pepper; rub the meat all over with the yogurt mixture. If you have time, let the lamb sit for an hour or more (refrigerate if it will be much longer).
• Put the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan. (You might line the pan first with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.) Roast for 30 minutes, then check; if the lamb threatens to burn, turn the heat down to 350º; otherwise leave it at 425º.
• After about 1 hour (total) of roasting, check the internal temperature of the lamb with an instant-read thermometer. Continue to check every 10 minutes; when it reaches 130 for medium rare (125 for very rare) in its thickest part (check it in several places), it's done. Total cooking time will be less than 1 1/2 hours. Let it rest for a few minutes before carving. Serve garnished with more chopped mint.
