Protein-packed lamb salad with fresh tzatziki for a tasty meal.
Ingredients:
  • 125.00 ml couscous
  • 100ml boiling water
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 400g lamb loin fillets, trimmed
  • 125.00 ml chargrilled capsicum (in brine), thinly sliced
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, quartered lengthways, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 75g baby rocket
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 small Lebanese cucumber, grated
  • 125.00 ml low-fat yoghurt
  • 1/2 garlic clove, crushed
  • 20.00 ml mint leaves, shredded
Instructions:
  • Prepare the tzatziki: Thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture from the cucumber using your hands. Mix the cucumber with yoghurt, garlic, mint, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Mix couscous with boiling water in a heatproof bowl. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Coat lamb with oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear lamb for 2 minutes per side until browned, then transfer to a tray and place in the oven. Roast for 5 minutes (for medium doneness) or until cooked to your preference. Remove from oven, cover with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thickly.
  • Fluff couscous with a fork to separate grains. Mix in capsicum, cucumber, onion, rocket, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Combine well. Plate couscous, then top with lamb and a dollop of tzatziki. Serve and enjoy!
