Roulade Filling

Salad

Grilled Asparagus

Fig Jus

Method

Prepare the Roulade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lay the lamb saddle flat on a clean surface. Spread the basil pesto evenly over the meat, leaving a small border around the edges.

  2. 2

    Add Filling

    Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the pesto-covered lamb. Carefully roll the lamb up tightly, starting from one end, and secure it with kitchen twine.

  3. 3

    Sear and Roast

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Sear the roulade on all sides until browned. Transfer to the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare.

Prepare the Salad

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine diced heirloom tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Toss well and set aside.

Grill the Asparagus

  1. 5

    Grill Asparagus

    Toss the trimmed asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Make the Fig Jus

  1. 6

    Prepare the Jus

    In a saucepan, combine chopped dried figs, red wine, and chicken stock. Simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes until reduced. Strain the mixture and whisk in butter until smooth.

Serve

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the lamb roulade, arrange on a plate with grilled asparagus and heirloom tomato salad. Drizzle with fig jus before serving.
