CloseMethod
-
1.Preheat the oven to 200°C. Combine the parsnip, beetroot, carrot and garlic on a baking tray, season and toss with 2 tbs oil. Roast for 35-40 minutes until golden and tender.
-
2.Meanwhile, place yoghurt in a small wide bowl set above another small bowl filled with ice (this prevents the yoghurt from curdling as it smokes).
-
3.Line the base of a wok with 2 pieces of foil, then add the sugar, rice and woodchips. Sit a wire rack in the wok. Place wok over high heat for 5 minutes or until starting to smoke, then place the two bowls on the rack and cover wok with a wok lid or large metal bowl. Reduce heat to medium and smoke for 10 minutes or until yoghurt has a smoky flavour. Chill yoghurt.
-
4.Heat 1 tbs oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Season the lamb, then cook, turning, for 2 minutes or until slightly browned. Reduce the heat to medium and brush the lamb with the honey. Continue cooking the lamb, turning and brushing with honey, for a further 5-6 minutes until caramelised. Remove lamb from the pan and rest, covered with foil, for 5 minutes, then slice.
-
5.To make a dressing, combine the resting juices with lemon juice and remaining 2 tbs oil, then season. Arrange the lamb, roast vegetables, spinach and seeds on serving plates, drizzle with the dressing and serve with smoked yoghurt.
