Moroccan Lamb & Feta Salad Recipe


Preparation Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 (about 500g) lamb eye of loin (backstrap)
125g (1/2 cup) S&W Whole Egg Mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tbs chopped fresh continental parsley
2 tbs fresh lime juice
1-2 small red birdseye chillies, deseeded, finely chopped
120g mixed salad leaves
150g feta, crumbled
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
55g (1/3 cup) pitted black olives, quartered
Fresh mint leaves, to serve

Method

Combine the oil, coriander and cumin in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place the lamb in a shallow glass or ceramic dish and pour over the coriander mixture. Turn the lamb to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours to develop the flavours.

Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, parsley, lime juice and chilli in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready to serve.

Preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan on high. Pat the lamb gently with paper towel to remove any excess oil. Cook on preheated grill for 4 minutes each side for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a warm plate, cover with foil and set aside for 10 minutes to rest.

Place the salad leaves in a serving bowl. Add the feta, onion and olives, and gently toss until just combined. Thinly slice the lamb across the grain and arrange on the salad. Top with a dollop of the mayonnaise and sprinkle with mint leaves to serve.
