Istruzioni
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Dice the beetroot and carrots into 2cm cubes. Toss with 15ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking tray and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, rinse the lentils. Place them in a saucepan with 500ml of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. Drain well.
- 3.Prepare the dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, the juice of half a lemon, finely chopped mint, and one minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.
- 4.Pat the lamb steaks dry and season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb for 4-5 minutes per side until well-done. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 5.In a large bowl, combine the warm roasted vegetables, cooked lentils, and fresh spinach; the residual heat will wilt the leaves slightly. Add thinly sliced red onion.
- 6.Divide the lentil and vegetable mixture between two plates. Top with the sliced lamb and drizzle generously with the mint-yogurt dressing to serve.
