Best Lamb Cutlets With Lentil Feta Salad Recipes

HARISSA LAMB & LENTIL SALAD WITH WHIPPED FETA

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the ground lamb with the cumin seeds and 2 teaspoons of the harissa paste and the parsley. Season well and shape into 12 small patties.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the patties for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
• Meanwhile massage the kale with half the extra-virgin olive oil to soften it. Season with salt and pepper and tip into a bowl. Warm the lentils according to the packet instructions and add to the kale along with the rest of the extra-virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and some seasoning.
• Whip the feta and yogurt together with a fork or whisk until creamy. Swirl through the rest of the harissa and season with plenty of black pepper. Serve the lamb patties with the lentils and a dollop of the whipped feta.

LAMB WITH LENTIL SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon each lemon zest, dried mint and salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the lentils and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the remaining lemon zest and juice, the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, pita chips, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Wipe out the skillet and return to high heat. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper and rub all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon dried mint. Add 2 chops to the skillet and cook, turning once, until well browned, 4 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 2 chops.
• Divide the lamb chops among plates. Serve with the lentil salad and yogurt sauce.
