Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
Dukkah lamb
1 lamb loin fillet (100-150g per person is more than enough)
Dukkah
Salt and pepper
Oil for cooking
Salad
Mixed leaves
2 Lebanese cucumbers, deseeded and sliced
1/2 punnet grape tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, diced
Soft, goats or Persian fetta, drained and crumbled into chunks
Pearl couscous, cooked and drained
Dressing
Lemon olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
METHOD
1. Salad (STEPS 1 and 4) - place all salad ingredients in a bowl and toss gently. Leave the oil and balsamic until just before serving.
2. Dukkah Lamb (STEPS 2-4) - heat a pan, grill pan or BBQ to a medium high heat. Add a dash of oil and cook the lamb fillet to medium/medium-rare. Remove to plate, season and rest under foil for 5 minutes.
3. Add approximately 4-5 tablespoons of dukkah to a clean, dry plate. Remove foil from the lamb. Roll the lamb in the dukkah, coating it evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the lamb into thin slices.
4. Dukkah Lamb and Salad - divide the salad between two bowls, drizzle with the lemon oil and balsamic and top with sliced lamb. Enjoy!
TIP If feeding a crowd alter the quantity to suit and serve with crusty bread. This salad would also be fantastic with some pomegranate jewels through it too.
WINE SUGGESTION
Being a light summery lamb dish, I would recommend enjoying the Dukkah Lamb Salad with a rosé, pinot noir or grenache.
