Servings: 4

Ingredients

• ½ tsp chilli flakes
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp cumin
• oil spray
• 125 g 4x lamb leg steaks fat trimmed
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic crushed
• 1 lemon Zest
• 400 g 2x cans no-added-salt chickpeas rinsed, drained
• 150 g  sugar snap peas trimmed (or snow peas or beans)
• 4 medium courgettes trimmed
• 1 roasted red capsicum peeled, thinly sliced (see Cook's tip)
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

• Combine chilli flakes, dried oregano and cumin in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over lamb leg steaks. Spray a large grill pan or non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Grill lamb for 2 minutes each side (for medium), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer lamb to a plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 3-4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Gently fry onion for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add garlic and lemon zest and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add chickpeas to pan with ⅓ cup water and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until heated through.
• Steam, boil or microwave sugar snaps for 2 minutes, or until just tender. Refresh under cold running water, drain well. Cut long ribbons from courgette with a vegetable peeler. Place courgette, sugar snaps and roasted capsicum in a large salad bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Gently toss to combine.
• Divide chickpea mash among 4 serving plates. Top with the lamb steaks and serve with courgette salad.

Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them taking the photo of the meal I produce for myself.
