  • 1 brown onion, finely diced
  • 1-2 tablespoons pulled lamb spices
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup white wine + ½ cup vegetable stock (or 1 cup vegetable stock)
  • 500g pulled lamb
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Toss kumara on prepared tray with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until tender. Turn once during cooking.
  3. While kumara cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add pulled lamb spices and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add white wine and/or stock to pan and stir, scraping pan to remove any brownings.
  4. Add pulled lamb, tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes, gently breaking up lamb with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until warmed through.
  5. While lamb is simmering, whisk mustard, vinegar and olive oil together in a large bowl. Grate carrots and add to bowl with all remaining feta and spinach salad ingredients. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Once lamb has warmed through, stir through peas and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until peas are heated through. Remove from heat, stir through mint and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. place kumara into bowls and spoon over pulled lamb, pea and mint. Top with a handful of feta and spinach salad.
