Ingredients
Pasta Salad
- 1 pack penne pasta
- 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
- 1 broccoli, roughly chopped
- 250g frozen peas
- 1/2 pack baby spinach
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tsp GF mustard
- 1/2 pack feta cheese, crumbled
Lamb
- 1 herbed butterflied lamb leg
To Serve
- 4 Tbsp herb aioli
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C. Preheat BBQ hot plate to high (if using). Bring a large pot of hot salted tap water to the boil with a lid. Cook pasta. Cook pasta in pot of boiling water for 8-9 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well, then drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Allow to cool slightly.
-
Cook lamb. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium heat and cook lamb, fat side down, for 3 minutes. Flip and cook a further 2 minutes, then transfer to a lined oven tray. Bake for 10-14 minutes for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set lamb aside to rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Alternatively, do this on the BBQ. Reserve pan.
-
Prep & cook veggies. Return reserved pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook onion for 3-4 minutes, until golden. Add broccoli and peas and cook for 3-5 minutes, until bright green and tender. Season to taste. Allow to cool slightly
-
Finish salad. In a large bowl, toss broccoli, peas, spinach and pasta with lemon juice, mustard, feta and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
-
To finish. Slice lamb against the grain and toss back through any resting juices.
-
Serve lamb with pasta salad and herb aioli.
