Culpepers' recipes.
The following recipe was submitted by the winner on our recent 2014 Culpepers' WA Apprentice Chef Competition.Boon-Pin Law - Crown Casino
Serves 1
This dish was created as my twist on the favorite surf n turf. Traditionally squid is not an accompaniment to lamb but the flavor of the sauce and spices together have put these odd fellows together. Lamb is best served medium rare but if you have to have you lamb completely cooked I suggest drizzling some sauce on the actual lamb to serve to give it some moisture.
Warning: The combination of the spices does give this dish a bit of a kick, I suggest when using a pinch, that you use a very small pinch. Adjust to your own individual taste desires. ENJOY!
