Ingredients

1/2 cup (110g) risoni pasta

4 french-trimmed lamb cutlets (200g)

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

400 gram heirloom tomatoes, sliced

2 tablespoon flaked almonds, toasted

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves

40 gram buffalo mozzarella, torn

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, extra

Method

Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water until tender; drain.

Meanwhile, combine lamb with garlic, rosemary and oil in a medium bowl. Cook lamb on a heated grill plate (or grill or barbecue) for 2 minutes each side or until cooked as desired.

Toss pasta with tomato, nuts, basil and cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinegar and extra oil. Serve salad topped with lamb.

If you can’t find buffalo mozzarella, use bocconcini. For a more economical option, swap the cutlets for lamb loin chops.
