If using BBQ, grill lamb for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Continue to cook for 15–25 minutes, turning every 4–5 minutes until medium.
Ingredients
CANIHUA TABBOULEH
- 1½ cups GF stock (e.g. chicken, vegetable)
- 1 cup GF canihua
- ½ Lebanese cucumber
- ½ punnet cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 capsicum
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon GF vinegar (e.g. red wine, balsamic, cider)
BBQ LAMB
- 550g GF butterflied lamb leg (at room temperature)
TZATZIKI
- 150g natural yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon finely sliced mint leaves
- ½ Lebanese cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess liquid
- ¼ teaspoon runny honey (optional)
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill to high (if using).
-
Bring stock to the boil in a medium pot on high heat. As soon as it boils, add canihua and a pinch of salt. Cover with a tightfitting lid and reduce to low heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, covered, for a further 10 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
-
While canihua is cooking, prepare vegetables. Dice cucumber 0.5–1cm; cut tomatoes in half; finely dice red onion; remove core and seeds from capsicum and finely dice 0.5– 1cm; finely slice first measure of mint. Place all in a large bowl with olive oil and vinegar then set aside.
-
Pat lamb dry with paper towels and season well with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Sear lamb for 1–2 minutes each side, until browned (lamb does not need to be cooked through).
-
Place lamb on prepared oven tray and roast for 6–8 minutes for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered in foil, to rest for 5 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, combine yoghurt, mint, cucumber and honey (if using). Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Drain canihua through a sieve, then add to bowl with vegetables. Gently toss to combine. Slice lamb thinly against the grain.
-
Divide canihua tabbouleh between plates and top with slices of BBQ lamb. Serve with a dollop of tzatziki
