Alternatively, cook lamb on BBQ grill for 2-3 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered, to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly.
Ingredients
Spiced Carrot and Cracked Farro Salad
- 1½ cups cracked farro
- 2 carrots, cut into 1cm sticks
- 1 tablespoon carrot spices
- 200g green beans
Lamb Leg Steaks
- 600g lamb leg steaks (at room temperature)
Beetroot Salad
- 1 beetroot
- Juice of 1 orange
- 2 teaspoons mustard (e.g. wholegrain, Dijon)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine)
To Serve
- 150g yoghurt
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Bring a half full kettle to the boil. Preheat BBQ grill to high (if using). Place farro in a sieve and shake well to remove any fine grit. Add to pot of boiling water, cover and turn off heat. Soak for 18-20 minutes, until tender with a slight bite. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain well.
-
While farro cooks, toss carrots on prepared tray with carrot spices and a drizzle of oil. Season and roast for about 25 minutes, until tender. Place beans in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 1-2 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and return to bowl.
-
Pat lamb dry and season well. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook lamb for 2-3 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered, for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly against the grain.
-
While lamb rests, grate beetroot and toss in a medium bowl with all remaining beetroot salad ingredients. Season to taste.
-
Toss carrots and freekeh in bowl with beans and a drizzle of oil. Season to taste.
-
To serve, divide spiced carrot and cracked farro salad between plates and top with slices of lamb leg steak and beetroot salad. Drizzle with yoghurt.
