Ingredients
- 130g Greek yogurt
- ½ tbsp harissa
- 1 large crushed garlic clove
- 4 thick lamb leg steaks (about 140g each)
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
For the crunchy salad
- 1 small red onion
- 1 large carrot
- 30g flaked toasted almonds
- A large handful of lamb’s lettuce
- 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- A squeeze of orange juice
Method
- 1. In a large dish, mix 130g Greek yogurt with ½ tbsp harissa, 1 large crushed garlic clove and some seasoning. Add 4 thick lamb leg steaks (about 140g each), toss to coat and leave for 10 minutes. Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry the steaks over a medium-high heat for about 8 minutes (depending on thickness), turning once halfway. Remove from the pan and leave to rest.
- 2. To make the crunchy salad finely chop 1 small red onion, rinse under cold water (to remove any harshness), drain and place in a bowl. Shred 1 large carrot and mix with 30g flaked toasted almonds. Stir through a large handful of lamb’s lettuce and dress with 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, a squeeze of orange juice and some seasoning. Serve the lamb with the salad and raita on the side.
