Introduction

This is from AWW Summer Salads, but as it's a warm salad, it would work any time of year I think:) I really like it because it only takes 15 minutes, or 20 minutes at a stroll to get on the table. It also makes use of tinned lentils, and they taste lovely in this.

  • Combine 1 TBSP of the curry paste and 1 TBSP of the oil in a small bowl. Rub lamb with curry mixture.
  • Cook lamb in heated oiled grill pan or frying pan until browned on both sides and cooked as desired. Transfer to a plate, cover and stand for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile heat remaining oil in medium frying pan. Add onion, carrot and celery; cook, stirring until vegetables are softened. Add garlic and remaining curry paste; cook stirring, until fragrant. Add stock and lentils. Stir until hot.
  • Remove from heat, add spinach and coriander; toss until combined.
  • Serve lamb sliced with lentil salad. The photo of this dish shows the lamb neatly fanned over the salad - I just tossed the whole lot together.

    What 1 Other has said

    • I think that 80 mL of stock is a typo and should probably be 800 mL to go with the amount of lentils the recipe calls for.
