Ingredients
CRUNCHY BULGUR SALAD
- ¾ cup bulgur wheat
- 100g peeled pumpkin, diced 1cm
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin spice mix
- ½ punnet baby capsicums, cut in half and seeds removed
- ½ apple
- 1-2 spring onions
- 25g sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons crispy shallots
- Zest of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
SPICED LAMB LEG STEAKS
- 300g lamb leg steaks (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon lamb spice mix
HARISSA MAYONNAISE
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ sachet harissa paste
TO SERVE
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint leaves
Steps
-
oven to 230°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Preheat BBQ grill to high (if using).
-
Add bulgur and a pinch of salt to a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover and leave to soak for 15-18 minutes, until grains are tender. Drain well through a sieve.
-
While bulgur soaks, toss pumpkin on prepared tray with pumpkin spice mix, a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 8 minutes, add capsicums to tray and roast for a further 7-9 minutes, until pumpkin is tender.
-
Pat lamb leg steaks dry with paper towels and place in a shallow bowl with lamb spice mix and a drizzle of oil. Mix to coat and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat.
-
Cook lamb for about 2 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered in foil, for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly against the grain. While lamb is resting, dice apple 1cm and finely slice spring onions.
-
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and harissa paste. When pumpkin and bulgur have finished cooking, place in a large bowl with all remaining crunchy bulgur salad ingredients. Drizzle with a little olive oil, toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
spoon crunchy bulgur salad onto plates and top with spiced lamb leg steaks, a dollop of harissa mayonnaise and garnish with mint.
