Ingredients:
  • 1/2 (about 400g) cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 red capsicums, deseeded, cut into 1.5cm pieces
  • 2 red onions, cut into thin wedges
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 105g (2/3 cup) cracked freekeh
  • 2 (200g each) lean lamb backstraps
  • 150g trimmed silverbeet leaves, shredded
  • 9.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 21.00 gm lemon juice
  • 6.00 gm tahini
  • 3.60 gm honey
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan forced and line a large baking tray with baking paper. Arrange cauliflower, capsicum, and onion on the tray. Lightly spray with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp garam masala. Roast for 25 minutes until golden and tender.
  • Cook freekeh in a saucepan of gently boiling salted water for 12-15 minutes until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, squeeze out excess water, and transfer to a bowl.
  • Coat the lamb generously with the leftover garam masala. In a large chargrill pan or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, spray with oil. Sear the lamb for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until it's cooked to your preference. Place the lamb on a plate and cover loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes, then slice into 5mm-thick pieces.
  • Combine the veggies and silverbeet with the freekeh. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, juice, tahini, and honey. Pour over the freekeh and toss to mix well. Serve the salad on plates and top with lamb.
