The lamb was cooked over a fast charcoal burner with some oak chips for that smokey tang , The prawns were in rice paper lined with basil and fried in sunflower oil , the lettuce can be a little bitter so blanch in boiling water first then braise in butter and a drizzle of honey. finish the tomatoes and mushrooms in the same clarified butter and use the ensuing jus over the completed dish. The base was a Florentine potato. That is , Creamed potato with spinach and some soft white cheese like Philladelphia or a nice runny Brie. Oddly , it worked well with the prawny element but I would avoid sesame oil for the prawn to prevent a flavour clash.
