It looks like heaven and tastes like a dream. INGREDIENTS asparagus* green beans* green onions* goat cheese parsley lemon TIP! I prefer to make this recipe with thinner asparagus as they grill tender without having to char them. *equal amounts PREPARATION PREPARATION 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. 1. Toss the beans, asparagus and green onions in olive oil. Add salt and pepper. 2. Pulse the onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. 3. Mix lamb, cumin, salt and pepper in a food processor until combined. 4. Roll into balls. 5. Pour a healthy splash of olive oil into a pan. 6. Fry mixture until golden on the outside. 2. Grill the asparagus but don’t over-cook them. Remember they’ll continue to cook a little when you remove them from the heat. 3. Serve on a plate with crumbled goat cheese, hand-torn parsley, olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dash of cracked pepper. 7. Bake for 5-7 minutes. Don’t overcook these tender little lovelies. 8. Smear 0% fat Greek yogurt on a plate, add sliced cucumber, drizzle crushed chili oil/sauce and add fresh mint. Peach and Red Onion Chutney Most chutney is made of sugar and vinegar reduced fruit, veggies and spices. I used peaches but you could use nectarines, plums, mangoes or any stone fruit. You could even use tomatoes, apples or pears. INGREDIENTS 3 1 ¾ cup ¾ cup ½ tsp 1 pinch peaches, cut into ¼ inch dices Spanish red onion, cut into ¼ inch dices brown sugar apple cider vinegar crushed chili flakes salt Roasted Fruit with Honey, Greek Yogurt and Walnuts A ZERO compromise, gorgeous garden based guilt-free dessert. INGREDIENTS in-season fruits (stone fruits work best)  honey fresh thyme basil Greek yogurt walnuts PREPARATION PREPARATION 1. Cut up your favourite in-season fruits. 1. In a medium pan with a splash of oil, sweat (soften) the onions. Be careful not to brown them. 2. Drizzle fruit with honey and fresh thyme. 3. Roast for 30-40 minutes at 400°F. 2. After 2 or 3 minutes add vinegar, chili flakes, sugar and salt. 4. Garnish with thinly sliced basil, Greek yogurt and walnuts. I used a mixture of 0% fat Greek yogurt with honey. 3. Add peaches to the mixture and reduce it on a low/medium heat. While stirring, squash the peaches with the back of a wooden spoon. This reduction will take 10-20 minutes. 4. Once your peach chutney has reduced/thickened remove it from the heat and let it cool.
