Tips

  • Add preserved lemon to bean & egg salad
  • Substitute eggs with tofu, or your favourite cheese
  • Lamb loin chop, also known as the Lamb T-bone are very tender. Substitute with eye of loin or cutlets
  • Marinating beef and lamb – a marinade’s job is to enhance the meat by adding an layer of flavour, not to tenderise. Tender meat is achieved by using the right cut for the way you have chosen to cook it. Marinades can be either wet or dry rubs and pastes. Refrigerate the marinating meat unless you are going to cook within 20 minutes of preparation. Whole pieces of meat (like roasts and steaks) can stand for 12 to 24 hours covered in the fridge, while cubes of meat for kebabs should only need 2 or 3 hours marinating time. Rub a dry marinade or paste into the meat about 20 minutes before cooking. If using a wet marinade take the meat from the liquid and lightly pat the meat with absorbent paper. If you do not, the meat will not brown well. Don’t pour marinade over the meat while it’s cooking. This makes the meat stew and causes flare-ups. Do not brush it on the meat during the last minutes of cooking time and never pour raw, leftover marinade over the cooked meat. The marinade mixture must always be bought to boiling point and boiled for a few minutes before using to kill any harmful bacteria. It can then be served alongside the cooked meat
  • Eat a variety of cuts from loin cuts. For example; cutlets, steaks through to non-loin cuts e.g. chuck steak, shin
