Lamb With Lentil Salad Recipes

LAMB CUTLETS WITH LENTIL & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook peas in boiling water for 3-4 mins until just tender, then drain. Mix with the lentils, vinegar, sugar and mint, then crumble in the feta and season well.
• Heat a griddle pan, brush the cutlets with a little oil and season. Cook in the hot pan for 4 mins on each side until browned and the middle is pink. Divide the salad between four bowls, then top with a couple of cutlets per person.

MEDITERRANEAN LAMB AND LENTIL STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and bones and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add onion and garlic and continue cooking about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the lentils, 2 cups of the chicken broth, tomatoes, carrots and the thyme, sage and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender but not quite done, stirring occasionally. Depending on the type and freshness of the lentils, this will take from 15 to 30 minutes. If the stew seems dry, add more broth (up to one cup additional). Discard the lamb bones.
• Add the spinach and cook 5 minutes more. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Garnish individual servings with some of the crumbled cheese.

HUMMUS-CRUSTED LAMB WITH LENTIL SALAD

Steps:

• Make the salad: in a bowl, combine the lentils, roasted peppers and spinach. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice and mustard to make a dressing, then stir into the lentils.
• Heat grill to high and season the lamb. Grill for 3 mins on each side, then spoon 1 heaped tsp hummus on top of each cutlet. Grill for another min until the hummus starts to turn golden. Serve with the lentil salad and any extra hummus.

DAAL GOSHT (LAMB WITH LENTILS)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan (on medium heat). When hot, add the cumin seeds. Fry till the spluttering stops.
• Add the onions and fry (stirring often) till they begin to turn pale golden in color.
• Now add the ginger and garlic pastes and fry for a minute.
• Next, add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chili, and garam masala powder and fry till the oil separates from the masala. Stir often to prevent the masala from sticking to the vessel and burning.
• Add the tomatoes and fry for two to three minutes, stirring often.
• Now add the lamb, salt to taste, and stir well. Fry till browned.
• Now add the lentils to the pot. Stir well and add three cups of water. If you are using a pot to cook the Daal Gosht , you need to let the daal /lentils come to a boil after adding the water and then simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the daal /lentils are soft. The end consistency of this dish needs to be like thick porridge, so keep checking to see if you need to add more water. Add hot water as required to maintain the right consistency until the daal /lentils are cooked.
• Once cooked, add the lime juice, stir well, and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with plain boiled rice and a vegetable side dish.
