Steps

  • Preheat oven to 200C.
  • For the Roast Pumpkin Puree, place all ingredients, except the cream, into a lined baking dish and mix well to coat the pumpkin. Cook in the oven until golden and soft, 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and discard the rosemary sprig. Transfer the contents of the baking dish to a blender and process until smooth. Add the cream and blend until combined then pass through a sieve into a small bowl. Season to taste and set aside.
  • For the Marinated Lamb Cutlets, place the lamb cutlets along with the remaining ingredients into a deep glass dish and mix well to coat the chops evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place a large griddle pan onto a medium heat. When hot, remove lamb cutlets from the marinade and cook until pink in the centre, about 2 – 3 minutes on each side. Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside to rest.
  • For the Goat's Cheese Mousse, place cream into a medium bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Place goat's cheese and milk into a medium bowl and whisk until combined and smooth. Add chives, cream and salt, to taste, and fold through gently until combined. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside in the fridge until required.
  • For the Candied Walnuts, place a wire rack over a baking tray and set aside. Place walnuts into a small frypan over medium heat and cook, tossing regularly, until fragrant and toasted. Remove for the heat and spread walnuts over wire rack.
  • Place caster sugar, maple syrup and 1/4 cup of water into a small frypan over a medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and cook to a thick syrup, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat and pour the syrup over the walnuts. Allow to cool before breaking up into small pieces.
  • For the Parsley Oil, place all ingredients into the canister of a stick blender and process until smooth. Pour through a fine, muslin lined sieve into a small bowl and set aside in the fridge.
