Indulge in a gourmet meal of baked potato paired with succulent grilled lamb and a refreshing watercress and orange salad.
Ingredients:
  • 12 chat (small coliban) potatoes
  • 2.50 gm smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 (about 500g) lamb eye of loin (backstrap)
  • 150g sugar snap peas, topped
  • 2 oranges, peeled, white pith removed
  • 1 bunch watercress, sprigs picked, washed, dried
  • 1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 20.00 ml red wine vinegar
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Arrange potatoes in a baking dish and generously drizzle with half of the oil. Bake for 45 minutes until tender.
  • In a bowl, mix together paprika, coriander, garlic, and the remaining oil. Rub the spice mixture onto the lamb placed on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  • In a large heatproof bowl, pour boiling water over the sugar snap peas. Let them sit for 2 minutes until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp. Then, rinse the peas under cold running water and drain well.
  • Hold the vibrant orange over a bowl to capture every droplet of its sweet nectar. Skillfully wield a sharp knife to delicately extract the juicy segments.
  • In a large bowl, mix watercress, sugar snap peas, orange, and onion. Drizzle with the reserved orange juice and vinegar. Gently toss until everything is well combined.
  • Preheat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb for 5 minutes on each side for a perfect medium or to your preference. Let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain. Arrange the lamb on plates and serve with salad and potatoes.
