Ingredients
- 600g Quality Mark lamb rumps
- 3/4 cup red lentils
- 1 red capsicum
- 1 yellow capsicum
- 3 tomatoes
- 1 Lebanese cucumber
- a small handful of parsley, chopped
- a small handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 red onion, chopped
- juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- A pinch of black pepper
Method
To sear steak
- Heat a frying pan with a splash of oil over a high heat.
- Cook on one side of the lamb until moisture appears, then turn and cook the other side.
- Test the ‘degree of doneness’ by touching the meat – it will feel springy for medium and very firm for well done.
- Remove from heat and allow to rest, loosely covered with aluminium foil.
To make salad
- For the salad, cook lentils in boiling water for 3-4 minutes to retain texture and colour.
- Drain and place in cold water.
- Dice all vegetables and place in a bowl.
- Add lentils and chopped parsley and mint.
- Season with cumin, pepper, lemon zest and juice.
- Stir to combine
To serve
- Serve this dish with grilled lime.
