Cooking Steps

1

• Thinly slice brown onion. • Finely chop garlic. • Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and half the butter. • Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Stir in garlic and half the garlic & herb seasoning until fragrant, 1 minute.

Cook the risoni
2

• To pan with onion, stir in the water (for the risoni), chicken stock pot (see ingredients) and risoni. • Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until risoni is 'al dente' and the water is absorbed, 13-15 minutes.

TIP: Add a splash more water if the risoni looks dry! TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre

Cook the lamb
3

• Meanwhile, season lamb backstrap on both sides. • Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook lamb for 7-8 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.

Cook the sauce
4

• Return pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook remaining garlic & herb seasoning and tomato paste until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the brown sugar, water (for the sauce) and the remaining butter until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

5

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine spinach & rocket mix and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste.

6

• Stir Parmesan cheese through risoni. • Slice lamb. • Divide onion risoni between plates. Top with lamb backstrap. • Spoon sauce over lamb. Serve with spinach-rocket salad. • Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
