Marinade the lamb overnight (if you have time). This gives the meat heaps of flavour.


Ingredients

PUMPKIN

  • 400g pumpkin
  • 1 tsp oil or spray oil

LAMB

  • 550g lean lamb rump steaks
  • 1 tsp oil or spray oil
  • 2 tsp lamb herb mix
  • ½ tsp salt

BROCCO-FETA SMASH

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 broccoli, florets diced 2cm and stalk diced 1cm
  • ¹/³ bag baby kale, roughly chopped *
  • 250g frozen peas *
  • 100g feta cheese *

TO SERVE

  • 80g fresh mint sauce

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220ºC.
  2. Prep & cook pumpkin. Toss pumpkin and oil on a lined tray and season. Roast for 22-25 minutes, turning once, until cooked.
  3. Prep lamb. Pat lamb dry. Rub in oil, lamb herb mix and salt. Set aside to marinate.
  4. Prep & cook brocco-feta smash. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Add broccoli to pot and cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
  5. Add kale and peas to pot with broccoli. Stir, cover and cook a further 3 minutes, until soft. If veggies stick, add a splash of water. Remove from heat and leave to steam for 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid, then crumble in feta. Use a potato masher to roughly smash. Season and cover, to keep warm.
  6. . Cook lamb. When pumpkin has about 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat 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. Remove from pan and set aside, covered, to rest for 2-3 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  7. To serve, divide pumpkin and brocco-feta smash between plates. Top with slices of lamb and dollop over fresh mint sauce.
