1 tsp. cardamon pods, seeds removed, roasted and ground

1 tbs. chardonnay vinegar
1 tbs. extra virgin oilve oil

To Serve
¼ cup baby mint
100g fresh natural set yoghurt
limes, halved and grilled

Method

Prepare spice mix by combining cumin, coriander, black pepper, cardamon, chili and sea salt. Roll the lamb fillets through spice mix, ensuring they are well coated. Heat the rice bran oil in a griddle pan and place the lamb fillets on, turning frequently for 4-5 mins so they are cooked evenly and still pink and medium-rare in the centre.

Quickly combine the three beans in a medium bowl and dress with the vinegar and olive oil, season with sea salt as needed, crumble over goats cheese.

Allow lamb fillets to rest for 1-2 mins, slice and serve with a helping of the bean salad, a dollop of yoghurt and garnish with the baby mint leaves and grilled limes.

TIP: butter beans are sometimes called lima beans.
