Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp smoky paprika
1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
1 tbsp thyme leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 lamb back straps or steaks
oil
2 tbsp quince paste
125 ml (½ cup) white wine
Preparation
Mix the garlic, paprika, vinegar, thyme leaves, oil, salt and pepper together. Brush over lamb and marinate for up to 1 hour.
Heat a heavy-based frypan over a medium–high heat. Add a splash of oil and cook the lamb for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside in a warm place to rest.
Tip away excess oil from the pan. Add the quince paste and white wine and bring to the boil. Whisk well and cook until the sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency. Check seasoning.
To serve, slice the lamb thickly and pour the quince glaze over.

How to cook beetroot
To minimise bleeding during cooking do not peel the beetroot (the skin holds the colour) and leave a portion of the stem in place. Boil in salted water or bake in the oven wrapped in foil at 180°C.
