Ingredients

  1. 4 x 170g boneless lamb leg steaks
  2. 3 tbsp olive oil
  3. 1 large onion, finely sliced
  4. 1 tbsp garam masala
  5. 2 tsp ground cumin
  6. ½ tsp ground turmeric
  7. 2 tsp ground ginger
  8. 700g portion frozen basic pilaf recipe, defrosted
  9. Bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
  10. 1 lemon

Method

  1. 1. Preheat a griddle pan over a medium heat (or light/preheat the barbecue). Brush the steaks with 1 tbsp oil, then season. Cook for 3 minutes each side until golden brown or cooked to your liking. Rest, covered with foil.

  3. 3. Remove the lamb fat, cut the lamb into cubes and add to the rice with the coriander and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with lemon wedges, raita and mango chutney, if you like.
