This raisin dressing perfectly balances the tangy feta cheese. Delish!


Ingredients

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLE TOSS

  • 150g orange kumara, scrubbed and sliced 1cm
  • 1 parsnip, diced 2cm
  • ½ sweet Palermo capsicum, cut in half lengthways and core and seeds removed
  • 1 teaspoon runny honey
  • ½ teaspoon lamb spice mix
  • 30g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds
  • 1-2 handfuls baby spinach leaves
  • 1-2 tablespoons golden raisin dressing

SPICED LAMB

  • 150g lamb leg steak (at room temperature)
  • ½ teaspoon lamb spice mix

TO SERVE

  • Remaining golden raisin dressing

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Toss kumara, parsnip and capsicum with a drizzle of olive oil, honey and first measure of lamb spice mix on prepared tray. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 20 minutes.
  3. While vegetables cook, pat lamb dry with paper towels, rub with second measure of lamb spice mix and season with salt. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat.
  4. Cook lamb for about 2 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Wrap in foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes, before slicing thickly against the grain.
  5. When vegetables have 5 minutes cook time remaining, add feta and almonds to tray and toss to combine. Continue to cook for the remaining 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and caramelised.
  6. While lamb is resting, finely slice spinach. Once roasted vegetables have finished cooking, toss through spinach and first measure of golden raisin dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. place roasted root vegetable toss onto a plate. Top with sliced lamb and drizzle over excess golden raisin dressing, if desired.
