  4. Place the tomato halves onto a wire rack and place into the dehydrator at 75 degrees for 12 hours, retain till use
  5. Place the lamb in a bowl and use a little pesto to marinade the lamb. Place in a vacuum bag and seal with the food sealer
  6. Place in a preheated water bath at 56 degrees for 1 hour (medium rare) or 62 degrees (medium)
  7. In a sauce pan reheat the mash with a little milk then season to taste. When hot take from the heat and beat in the remaining pesto

  9. To serve, place a large spoon of pesto mash on the plate beside the semi dried tomatoes and the lamb then drizzle with a little remaining pesto

Chef’s Tip –

The lamb noisettes are a great thing to cook when creating a menu! Try simply dusting them with some roasted cumin, turmeric and tomato puree before cooking for a little difference.
