Ingredients
KUMARA
- 800g mixed kumara
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
INDIAN BUTTERFLIED LAMB LEG WITH RIBBON SALAD
- 600g butterflied lamb leg
- 2 tablespoons Indian spice mix
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 courgette
- ½ telegraph cucumber
- 2 carrots
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
YOGHURT DRESSING
- ½ cup natural yoghurt
- ½ clove garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of ½ lemon
- Pinch of sugar
Steps
-
oven to 220oC. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Preheat BBQ grill to high (if using).
-
Cut kumara into 1cm-thick chips. Toss with olive oil and a pinch of salt on first prepared tray. Bake for about 25 minutes, until brown and crispy. Turn once during cooking.
-
Pat lamb dry with paper towels and rub with Indian spice mix and olive oil then sprinkle with salt. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat and cook lamb for 2–3 minutes each side, until browned. Place on second prepared tray.
-
When the kumara has 15 minutes cook time remaining, place lamb on top rack of oven to roast for 8–10 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Remove lamb from oven and cover with foil to rest while kumara finishes.
-
Prepare the rest of the salad. Use a vegetable peeler to peel courgette, cucumber and carrots into long, thin ribbons, cucumber and carrot and roughly chop mint leaves. Toss all in a large bowl with lemon juice.
-
In a small bowl, mix yoghurt dressing ingredients together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Thinly slice lamb.
-
place ribbon salad onto plates with kumara on the side. Top with slices of Indian butterflied lamb leg and a dollop of yoghurt dressing.
