A IS FOR ALMONDS
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the chopped almonds in a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
BACON MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER
Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, fry the bacon strips until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel, keeping the pan of oil on the heat. Add a knob of butter (optional) and fry the sliced onion until golden, 7-8 minutes (shifting occasionally).
MAKE THE CHUTNEY
When the onion is soft and caramelised, reduce the heat to low. Roughly chop the bacon and add to the pan. Stir in 15ml of sweetener, the Savanna and 30ml of water. Cook until sticky and reduced by a ¼, 3-4 minutes (stirring regularly). Remove from the heat, cover and set aside.
LIPSMACKING LAMB
Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel and season. When hot, sear the lamb until browned, 3-5 minutes (shifting as it colours). Remove from the pan and place on a roasting tray to finish cooking in the oven, 2-3 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.
FETA & GREEN BEAN SALAD
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the rinsed green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, place into a bowl and season. Toss with ½ the toasted almonds, the rinsed leaves, the vinegar, and the drained feta. Set aside. Reheat the chutney before serving.
SENSATIONAL SUPPER
Serve up the sliced lamb and dollop over the bacon & onion chutney. Side with the almond & feta green beans. Scatter it all with the remaining nuts.
