Tomato Sesame crusted Lamb Racks

I realized I had posted a few lamb recipes but only 1 lamb rack recipe, so I figured it was about time I posted another.

                                                                                                                                                         Ingredients

4 Racks of lamb (3-4 cutlets each)
1 Teaspoon sesame oil
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
1 Small onion, grated
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
2 Tablespoons peanut butter
2 Tablespoons sugar

Method

1. Trim any excess fat from lamb racks.

2. Combine all the other ingredients in a bowl, spread mixture evenly over lamb racks.

3. Place lamb racks on wire rack in baking dish. Bake in pre-heated oven 190c for 20 Min’s, cover racks with greased foil and bake for a further 10 Min’s or until tender.

Note: I only cover to prevent the sesame crust from burning, so if it looks fine you do not need to cover.

Sesame Crusted Tuna with Japanese Dipping Sauce

I went to the store the other day and the Tuna just looked so fresh and good, so I thought I would buy some. I ate at a restaurant last year and had a really good sesame crusted Tuna with a dipping sauce, I have experimented since then to try and make something similar. I’m sure it is not exactly the same but it tastes great and is a really light healthy meal.

Ingredients

olive oil
4 Tuna steaks
Sesame seeds (I haven’t listed quantity as it will vary for size of steaks, but enough to cover one side of tuna)
1 sachet miso paste (18g)
3 Tablespoons mirin
3 Tablespoons sake
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
2 Teaspoons Japanese soy sauce
1/4 Teaspoon wasabi

Method

1. Cover one side of tuna completely with sesame seeds and place steaks back in fridge.

2. Combine all the other ingredients in a saucepan heat until blended and sugar has dissolved. Leave on low heat to keep warm.

3. Heat some olive oil in a fry pan, place Tuna sesame seed side down cook for 4 Min’s turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4 Min’s. Tuna should be pink in the middle so vary cooking time for how thick the cut is. You can cook it all the way through if preferred, but the tuna will be a lot drier and tough.

Serve tuna on plate with dipping sauce in separate small serving bowls.

I served mine with spinach topped with a roasted sesame seed dressing.
