Spicy lamb carpaccio
Carpaccio is a finely sliced, raw meat dish – which should be carefully seasoned. Our version is lamb-based and seasoned with an Ethiopian spiced salt (quite hot, adjust according to taste!) and a fresh mint pesto. We recommend removing any excess fat and nerves from a leg of lamb.

1 garlic clove
1 tsp salt
20 fresh mint leaves

½ lb tender, well trimmed lamb
