Method
Salad
Thoroughly coat the kumara, sage leaves and garlic with olive oil. Season, then spread on a baking tray and roast in a pre-heated oven at 190C for 15 minutes or until kumara is tender. Cool, then combine with green beans in a large bowl with oil and vinegar, and adjust seasoning.
Tomato relish
Pour lemon juice over onion in a bowl, toss well and marinate for 30 minutes. Combine the tomato with remaining ingredients, add onions and season.
Lamb
Season the lamb and pan-sear, grill or barbecue in a little oil until cooked to your liking. Rest, covered in a warm place for 3-5 minutes. Arrange the lamb in the middle of each plate with a portion of salad and tomato relish on the side.
