Rapid-Fried Lamb Slices

Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus marinating
Cooking time: 2 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 275g lean lamb fillet, all fat removed
• 12 spring onions
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 tablespoons water
• half teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 2 teaspoons tapioca flour
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Method:

1. Slice the lamb fillet as thinly as possible.  Cut the spring onions in half lengthways, then slice them diagonally into 5cm lengths.
2. Place the meat and spring onions in a shallow dish and add 1 tablespoon olive oil, water, half teaspoon sea salt, pepper and tapioca flour.  Turn to coat the meat evenly and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a wok until it is very hot.  Add the crushed garlic to flavour the oil, then add the lamb and spring onions in the marinade.  Stir-fry over a high heat for 30 seconds.  Sprinkle over the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon water, stir briefly and serve immediately.
