Instructions:
Herby Marinated Tomatoes
- Finely chop herbs, and cut tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- To a bowl, add crushed garlic clove, salt, cracked black pepper, vinegar, and olive oil. Let it sit for 5 minutes, so that the garlic slightly loses its pungency.
- Stir in tomatoes and chopped herbs.
- Cover and place in the fridge to marinate.
Warm White Bean Puree
- Add olive oil, and roughly chopped garlic and shallot to a non-stick pan or pot.
- Slowly bring up the meat to medium-high, and cook for 4-5 minutes, until slightly caramelised.
- Add beans, salt, pepper, and water. Bring up the heat slightly, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until warmed through.
- Transfer to a high-speed blender or kitchen processor and blend until smooth.
- Transfer back to the pan/pot to keep warm while you prepare Meaty Meat.
Pan-fried Meaty Meat
- Season Meaty Meat on all sides with salt and cracked black pepper.
- Add olive oil to a non-stick pan and bring to medium heat.
- Add Lamb-ish, and cook it on all sides until nicely browned, for around 8-9 minutes.
- Remove Meaty Meat from the pan, and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice into desired pieces.
Serving
- Spoon bean puree on a plate, and spread it around nicely.
- Add slices of Meaty Meat on top of the puree.
- Spoon over marinated tomatoes.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky salt to finish.
