Lush Nepalese Lamb Ribs with Smoky Eggplant Cloud Recipe

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

Lush Nepalese Lamb Ribs with Smoky Eggplant Cloud - Zest Byron Bay1.5kg Lamb Rib racks
110g Zest Nepalese Spice Paste
2 tsp oil

Eggplant Cloud
2 medium eggplants
2 cloves garlic
2 tbs Zest Nepalese Spice Paste
1 tbs sesame seeds toasted
2 tbs natural yoghurt

Method

Blend Zest spice paste and oil, then marinate lamb in a baking tray for a couple of hours in fridge.

Roast at 165°C, uncovered, until the meat is very tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. (The lamb can be finished on a BBQ if you want more colour.)

During this roasting phase, char the eggplants on all sides over a gas burner, turning for about 15 minutes.

Then transfer the eggplant, whole garlic and spice paste to a baking tray and put in the oven for 30 minutes until soft. Take out and cool.

Peel garlic and remove blackened skin from eggplant. Blend with sesame and yoghurt until smooth. Season if necessary.

Serve with lamb and Greek-style salad.

400g Pumpkin deseeded and cut into 2cm cubes
400g tin Cannellini (white) beans rinsed & drained
2 tbsps Zest Indian Spice Paste
¼ cup pepitas
1/8 cup sunflower seeds

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Coat pumpkin with Indian Spice Paste and roast for 20mins or until cooked with a little colour. Mix pumpkin with other ingredients and cool.

Thaw filo pastry and melt butter in saucepan. Brush one sheet of filo with melted butter and lay on the next sheet. Brush the top sheet with melted butter and put on another sheet. Repeat and now you’ll have 3 sheets together.

Repeat twice more until you have three piles of three sheets.

Spread a third of the mix along the bottom of the narrow end of the sheet and roll tightly to make a sausage shape. Repeat this with the other two piles.

Put the three sausages on a prepared baking sheet with 2cm space in between each. Brush each sausage with butter and bake for 15-20mins or until golden brown and crisp.

Once cooked, cut into the desired length and serve with a little plain yoghurt.
