Lamb With Asparagus
So here's a recipe I like to make at summer. The perfect combination of vegetables and meat where you can enjoy the real taste of the asparragus and lamb.
Ingredients
- 300g Lamb
- 6 Green asparagus
- 1 Leek
- 1 Potato
- 3 Garlic
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 tsp flour
- 1 tbsp Brandy/Porto wine
- Olive oil
Preparing the Lamb
- First you have to bone the lamb thigh. You don't need to be an expert to do this, it's quite easy. Check this great tutorial
- Cut the lamb in 2cm thick strips
- Macerate the lamb for 1-2 hours in a mixture made of 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 egg whites, 1 tbsp Brandy/Porto wine and 1 tsp flour, salt and pepper
Preparing the Vegetables
- Clean the leek and cut it in julienne strips
- Chop the garlic
- Clean and cut the asparragus half
- Clean the potato and cut it in thin julienne strips
Cooking the Lamb
- Sweat the leek until it gets very soft
- Heat oil in a pan, pour the lamb mixture in it along with the garlic and fry it
- Fry the thin potato strips
- Finally, mix the lamb, potatoes and leek
Grilling the Sparragus
- Put a tablespoon of olive oil on the bottom of the griddle, place the asparragus with the flat side down and add a pinch of sea salt
- Once the lower part is partially roasted, turn them upside down and add another pinch of sea salt
- The asparragus will be ready when they began to turn dark green and softer
Presentation
I first thought of cutting the asparragus in 3-4 cm long pieces and mixing then with the rest, but I finally made the composition above where the beautiful asparragus could be perfectly seen.
