Method
- Bring the meat to room temperature, then place it on a board and tenderise with a meat hammer or Jaccard-style tenderiser.
- Cut the meat into large chunks and transfer to a large bowl. Season to taste.
- Peel, finely chop and add the garlic. Pick, chop and add the parsley, then add the lemon zest and juice, the chilli and oil. Adjust the quantities to taste; there should be just a hint of each, to bring out the meat’s best aspects and not mask its flavour.
- Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with ciabatta-style bread.
Tips
This is best served raw, but if you’d prefer, you can grill it briefly, kebab-style, or sauté it.
