Ingredients
- Serves 6
Method
- Finely chop 1 slice of pineapple. Place in a medium bowl and combine with oil, fish sauce, honey, chilli, lime zest and juice. Season. Place marinade and lamb in a large snap lock bag or glass bowl, turn to coat and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat a char-grill pan or barbecue over medium-high heat. Drain lamb from marinade and cook lamb for 4-5 minutes each side or until charred. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for a further 10-12 minutes, turning and glazing with any remaining marinade, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat, set aside on a plate covered loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes. Spray remaining pineapple lightly with oil and cook in same pan or barbecue for 2-3 minutes each side or until charred.
- Place kale slaw in a large bowl, add coriander and dressing. Season and toss to coat.
- Slice lamb and serve with slaw, pineapple, rice, extra chilli (optional), lime wedges and coriander sprigs.
Tips
- Lamb shoulder or lamb leg (bone-in) would also work well in this recipe.
- Any leftover lamb can be used in a pita or wrap with salad for a delicious lunch.
- Kale slaw kits (which include dressing) are available at most supermarkets or use your choice of pre-made coleslaw.
- Remove seeds from chilli for less heat, if desired.
