Pan-Fried Welsh Lamb Summer Salad Recipe
A fresh seasonal recipe with broad beans, beetroot and feta.
Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Serves 3 Ingredients 1 x boneless loin (cannon) of Welsh Lamb or 2 Welsh Lamb leg steaks For the rub: 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander ½ tsp garlic powder 1 tbsp oil Small knob of butter For the salad: 150g frozen or fresh broad or soya beans 1 tbsp olive oil 1 red onion, finely sliced 1 garlic clove, crushed 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves removed and roughly chopped 4 small, cooked beetroot, quartered Handful of rocket leaves Handful of mint leaves 75g feta cheese, cut into cubes For the dressing: 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp runny honey 1 lemon, juice and rind Directions Mix the ingredients for the rub and use to coat the lamb. Cook the beans according to the packet instructions, then drain and refresh them in cold water. Peel the skin off the broad beans, as the colour will be much brighter (optional). Heat the oil in a frying pan and, over a high heat, sear the lamb on all sides, being careful not to burn it. Reduce the heat and add the butter. Cook for approximately 4 minutes each side or to your liking, turning occasionally and basting with the butter. Take the pan off the heat, cover with foil and allow to rest while you finish the salad. In the same pan, heat a little oil, add the onion and garlic and stir.
Add the beetroot and rosemary and colour the beetroot gently, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Slice the lamb into thin slices. Mix the remaining salad ingredients in a bowl, add the beans and the beetroot mixture then pour over the dressing and serve immediately with the warm lamb and feta.
