Chef's twist: Substitute beef with succulent new-season lamb, thinly slice and poach in flavorful stock for a unique twist on a classic dish by Valli Little.
Ingredients:
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 1 bunch baby (Dutch) carrots, trimmed
  • 1 bunch baby turnips (see notes), trimmed
  • 8 kipfler potatoes, peeled, halved if large
  • 4 eschalots, halved if large
  • 1 bunch broccolini, trimmed
  • 150g broad bean
  • 120g green beans, trimmed
  • 2 x 270g lamb backstraps, trimmed
  • Basil pesto, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer over medium-high heat. Season to taste, then add the carrot, turnip, and potato. Cook until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Combine the eschalot, broccolini, broad beans, and green beans in the pan. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to serving bowls. Lightly mash some potato against the pan's side with a fork to thicken the stock before serving.
  • Thinly slice the tender lamb and distribute it evenly among the bowls. Pour the steaming hot stock over the lamb to cook it gently. Drizzle with flavorful pesto before serving.
