Small bunch silver beet – chopped into strips
2 spring onions, chopped
2 lamb back strap

Method
- Cut cauliflower into floreats

- Dry lamb back strap
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water and bring to boil on stovetop and then reduce to simmer for around 15 mins or until soft
- In a pan, fry the cauliflower on a high heat until a little charred so that it’s not soft. Remove it and set aside. Fry off the silver beet and also set aside.
- Toast nuts and set aside
- Cook the lamb – high heat to render for 8 mins, then lower the heat and cook for a further 5 mins. Check the middle is still pink – once cooked to your liking, put in tin foil and allow to rest.
