Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: Under 15 minutes
What you need:
- 4 lean lamb leg steaks
- Salt and freshly milled black pepper
- 30ml/2tbsp extra virgin olive or rapeseed oil
- 2 small red onions, peeled and finely sliced lengthways
- 4 medium tomatoes, skinned, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 50g/2oz butter
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
- 1 cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets and cooked until just tender
- 40g/1½oz lightly toasted pine nuts
- 1 small bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
To serve:
What you do:
- Place the steaks on a chopping board, season and brush on both sides using half the oil. Cook under a preheated grill for 8-10 minutes (for medium), turning occasionally or until any meat juices run clear. Transfer to a warm plate and cover loosely.
- Heat the remaining oil in a heavy bottomed, non-stick frying pan and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until caramelised and partially softened. Add the tomatoes, toss then transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- Return the pan to the hob and melt the butter over a low heat. Add the garlic, fry gently in the butter for a few seconds, then increase the heat and add the cauliflower. Cook until lightly caramelised, tossing occasionally.
- Return the tomato mixture to the pan with the cauliflower, stir through the pine nuts and parsley. Season.
- Serve the steaks with the warm salad and a dollop of yogurt.
