Ingredients
  

  • 600 g lamb shoulder
  • 200 g baby spinach
  • 150 g radishes
  • 1 medium eggplant
  • 200 g plain yogurt
  • 30 g fresh mint
  • 30 g fresh cilantro
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • pepper
  • Feta cheese optional
  • Additional fresh herbs, such as parsley optional

Equipment

  • 20 cm (8 inch) square baking tray
  • Chef's knife
  • Heatproof mixing bowl
  • Deep frying pan or pot
  • Grill pan for lamb

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the diced eggplant on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, turning halfway through.
  2. While the eggplant roasts, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the diced lamb for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, seasoning with salt and pepper. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, chopped mint, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth to create the mint yogurt dressing.
  4. In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted eggplant, sliced radishes, and baby spinach.
  5. Drizzle the mint yogurt dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Top the salad with the rested lamb and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
