Harissa Lamb & Lentil Salad with Whipped Feta

November 20

If you want you can make this a veggie dish by roasting wedges of butternut squash in place of the lamb.

Method

  1. 1. In a bowl, mix the lamb mince with the cumin seeds and 2 teaspoons of the harissa paste and the parsley. Season well and shape into 12 small patties.
  2. 2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the patties for
    2–3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  3. 3. Meanwhile massage the kale with half the extra-virgin olive oil to soften it. Season with salt and pepper and tip into a bowl. Warm the lentils according to the packet instructions and add to the kale along with the rest of the extra-virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and some seasoning.
  4. 4. Whip the feta and yoghurt together with a fork or whisk until creamy. Swirl through the rest of the harissa and season with plenty of black pepper. Serve the lamb patties with the lentils and a dollop of the whipped feta.

Asian Aromatic BBQ Summer Lamb with Tangy Sesame Salad!

September 12

If you’ve never BBQ’d lamb before you are totally missing out on one of my favourite flavours. It works particularly well with the smokeyness the BBQ gives and the addition here of lots of wonderful Asian ingredients really heightens that flavour.  Lamb also BBQ’s equally well with a simple studding of rosemary and garlic.

Orange Harissa BBQ Lamb with Charred Greens

May 29
Summer lamb is an ideal BBQ meat, the coals provide a smokey contrast to the sweet meat. Both shoulder or leg of lamb deboned and butterflied work well here and are often overlooked for this seasons cooking. To balance the heat and sweetness of the lamb, grill radicchio and endive to accompany. In the absence of both bitter leaves which both barbeque beautifully, use baby gem or romaine lettuce heads, split in half.
