Grilled Lamb With Hummus Mash Recipes

GRILLED LAMB WITH HUMMUS MASH

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Put the chops and sliced courgettes on a baking tray, then toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and season. Grill for 3-5 mins, then turn everything over and cook for 5 mins more or until the lamb is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, cut the onion into thin halfmoon slices and tip into a bowl with another tbsp olive oil and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Leave to marinate.
• Tip the chickpeas into a sieve. Pour over boiling water to warm them, then whizz with the remaining oil and half the feta. Add a few tbsps of water to loosen, then season to taste. Serve with the lamb, courgettes and onions, sprinkled with the mint and remaining feta.

HUMMUS BOWLS WITH SPICED LAMB

Steps:

• Bring the chickpeas and their liquid to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Drain, reserving the liquid. Set aside 1/4 cup chickpeas for topping. Process the remaining chickpeas in a food processor with 1/2 cup chickpea liquid, the tahini, half of the garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and salt to make a silky puree, scraping down the sides as needed, 2 to 3 minutes. If the hummus is too thick, add more chickpea liquid 1 tablespoon at a time; season with salt.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off all but about 3 tablespoons drippings. Stir in the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon cumin, the paprika, cinnamon and allspice; cook, stirring, until toasted, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and half of the herbs.
• Divide the hummus among bowls. Top with the lamb mixture, the reserved chickpeas, remaining herbs and a light drizzle of olive oil. Serve with pita and cucumber salad.

LAMB STEAKS WITH HUMMUS NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 15 mins or until tender. Meanwhile, heat the grill or a griddle pan. When the potatoes are almost ready, season the lamb steaks, rub with a little oil, then griddle or grill for 3-4 mins on each side until they are cooked to your liking, adding the tomatoes halfway through until juicy and bursting.
• When the potatoes are ready, drain well, then return to the pan and gently crush with a fork or potato masher. Stir through the hummus, olives and parsley, then season well. Serve the crushed potatoes with the lamb and the tomatoes.
