Percentage of Australians who travel

overseas to at-risk destinations

without seeking health advice. Those

who fell sick typically spent a third of

their holiday bedridden.

SOURCE SANOFI PASTEUR

SERVES 4

• 4 carrots, cut into thin chips


• 2 teaspoons coconut oil, melted


• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


• ½ cup slivered almonds


• 1 tablespoon ground cumin


• 1 tablespoon dried oregano


• 800g lamb backstrap, trimmed of fat


• 8 kale stalks, trimmed, leaves roughly torn


• 100g feta, crumbled


• Handful of mint leaves, roughly chopped


• Handful of coriander leaves, roughly chopped


• Chilli flakes, to serve (optional)


• Hummus, to serve


• Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling (optional)

PREHEAT the oven to 180°C

and line a baking tray with

baking paper.

TOSS the carrots in a bowl

with 1 teaspoon of the coconut

oil and some salt and pepper.

Spread out on the prepared

tray and bake for 30–

minutes until cooked through

and crisp around the edges.

MEANWHILE, toast the

almonds in a dry frying pan

until lightly golden. Remove

and set aside.

SPRINKLE the cumin,

oregano and some salt and

pepper over the lamb. Heat

the remaining coconut oil in

the pan over medium–high

heat, add the lamb and cook

for 3–4 minutes each side for

medium–rare; thicker pieces

will need an extra minute or so

on each side. Transfer to a

plate, cover with foil and rest

for 5 minutes.

LAMB WITH HUMMUS AND CARROT CHIPS

Pair lamb with kale – the king of leafy greens – to make the ultimate power dinner.

The carrot chips are a delicious, healthy bonus, says Tim Robards, author of The 7:2:1 Plan

WIPE out the pan with paper

towel and add the kale and 1

tablespoon water. Cook,

covered, over medium heat

until lightly steamed and wilted.

SLICE the lamb and divide

among four plates, along with

the rest. Dollop a good

tablespoon of hummus on

each plate, finish with a drizzle

of olive oil if you like, and serve.
