Mouthwatering Greek lamb salad with 5+ veggies - nutritious and satisfying.
Ingredients:
  • 750g pumpkin, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 1 large red onion, halved, cut into thick wedges
  • 1 bunch baby beetroot, trimmed, peeled, halved
  • 40.00 ml Garlic Infused extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • 0.63 gm ground cinnamon
  • 10.00 gm ground cumin
  • 600g cauliflower
  • 62.50 ml skinless hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • 62.50 ml pistachio kernels, roughly chopped
  • 28.75 gm walnuts
  • 20.00 ml linseeds
  • 6.00 gm sesame seeds
  • 4 lamb leg steaks
  • Fresh mint leaves, to serve
  • 48.00 gm tahini
  • 125.00 ml plain Greek-style yoghurt
  • 20.00 ml fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper and arrange pumpkin, onion, and beetroot on it. Drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil.
  • In a bowl, mix paprika, chilli, cinnamon, and cumin. Sprinkle half of the spice blend over the vegetables, toss to coat well. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 45-50 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway, until they are golden and tender.
  • Next, place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Heat the rest of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in the hazelnuts, pistachios, walnuts, linseeds, and sesame seeds. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until toasted and the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and set aside. Clean the pan.
  • Coat the lamb generously with the spice mixture. Sear in a hot pan for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for a perfect medium doneness and a beautiful brown color. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Prepare a flavorful Tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and chopped mint in a pitcher. Season with a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice the tender lamb, then mix it with fresh vegetables in a flavorful cauliflower blend. Drizzle with a delicious dressing and serve, topped with fragrant mint leaves for a beautiful finish.
