Ingredients
Fattoush
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pack garlic pita bread
- ½-1 cos lettuce
- ½ telegraph cucumber
- ½ bag radishes
- Juice of 1 lemon
Sumac Yoghurt
- ½ teaspoon Arabic spice (optional)
- ½ teaspoon boiling water
- 1 pottle yoghurt
Spiced Lamb
- 1 pack lamb leg steaks (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon Arabic spice
Steps
-
Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill to high (if using). Bring a half full kettle to the boil. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and finely chop garlic. Place both in a large bowl, along with salt, a drizzle of olive oil and season with pepper. Set aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes. Combine first measure of Arabic spice mix (if using) and boiling water in a small bowl. Mix well then add yoghurt. Season and set aside.
-
Pat lamb dry and season with salt and second measure of Arabic spice mix. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook lamb for about 2 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered, to rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
-
Wipe pan clean and return to low-medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cut pita breads into quarters and cook, in batches, for about 1 minute each side until lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly then cut wedges in half again.
-
Roughly chop lettuce; peel cucumber into ribbons; thinly slice radish. Add all to bowl with tomatoes, along with lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and season. Toss pita breads though just before serving.
-
To Serve, place Fattoush onto plates, top with spiced lamb and dollop over sumac yoghurt.
