Ingredients
Roasted Vegetables
- 150g pumpkin
- ¼ red onion
- ½ head broccoli
- 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
- ½ courgette
- 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
- 50g feta cheese
- 1/3 bag baby spinach
Cajun Lamb
- 150g lamb leg steak (at room temperature)
- 1 tsp Cajun spice mix
Mango Mayo (optional)
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp mango and coconut sauce
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Dice pumpkin 1-2cm, cut onion into 0.5cm wedges and cut broccoli into small florets. Toss pumpkin, onion, broccoli, honey/maple syrup and chilli flakes (if using) with a drizzle of oil on prepared tray and season. Cook for about 15 minutes, until tender.
-
While vegetables cook, peel courgette into ribbons. When vegetables have 5 minutes cook time remaining, add walnuts, crumble over feta and return to oven for 5 minutes, until walnuts are toasted. Remove from oven and toss through courgette and spinach.
-
While vegetables cook, pat lamb dry and season with salt. Rub Cajun spice mix over both sides. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat.
-
Cook lamb for about 2 minutes each side for mediumrare (depending on thickness) or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered, to rest for 2-3 minutes. Slice lamb thickly against the grain.
-
While lamb rests, combine mayonnaise with mango and coconut sauce in a small bowl (if using).
-
To serve, divide roasted vegetables between plates. Top with Cajun spiced lamb and dollop over mango mayonnaise (if using).
