Warm Spinach Salad Recipe

Lamb Salad Recipe

For this Warm Spinach Salad Recipe, you can use lamb rump or lamb tenderloin. Although these are not budget cuts, a little goes a long way and the bulk of this spinach salad recipe is made up of roast vegetables.

You need to roast the butternut and beetroots ahead of time. (See Roasted Vegetables Recipe.) However, if you are really pushed for time you can omit the roast vegetables.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 400° F / 200° C.
2. Peel, de-seed and dice the butternut into inch cubes. How to prepare butternut squash will give you useful instructions.
3. Peel and halve the beetroots.
4. Place the butternut cubes and beetroot halves on an oiled baking tray. Massage a little oil over them and roast for 30 - 40 minutes, until the edges are slightly caramelized and the vegetables are cooked through.
5. Whilst the vegetables are cooking, prepare the remaining vegetables and lamb. Using a pestle and mortar, grind the coriander seeds. Add the black pepper and salt. Pour this mixture onto a plate. Roll each lamb steak in this rub mixture, making sure that each piece is well coated.
6. Pour a couple of tablespoons of oil into a frying pan and bring it up to a sizzling heat. The oil should be hot enough that you can just pass your hand over the oil without burning it but it shouldn't be smoking (this is too high). Place the lamb steaks in the pan and sear (fry) on one side for 2 - 3 minutes. Turn the steaks over and sear for a further 2 minutes. Make a slit in one of the steaks to see how well cooked it is. We like our lamb slightly pink on the inside but well cooked around the edges. If the lamb is not to your liking, cook it for a further minute or two. Remove from the pan and rest for a few minutes.
7. To assemble the warm spinach salad recipe: sprinkle the spinach leaves over a platter. Next sprinkle over the warm butternut and beetroot, the grated carrot, sliced red onion and feta.
8. Slice the warm lamb steaks into slivers and arrange over the top.
9. Drizzle with thick balsamic vinegar.
