Method

  1. Cook peas in boiling water for 3-4 mins until just tender, then drain. Mix with the lentils, vinegar, sugar and mint, then crumble in the feta and season well.
  2. Heat a griddle pan, brush the cutlets with a little oil and season. Cook in the hot pan for 4 mins on each side until browned and the middle is pink. Divide the salad between four bowls, then top with a couple of cutlets per person.

Lamb with Greek salad couscous

Put 200g couscous in a heatproof bowl, pour over 300ml hot veg stock and cover for 5 mins. Cook the lamb as before. When the couscous is fluffy and has absorbed all the liquid, stir in ½ diced cucumber, a handful chopped sun-blush tomatoes, a few black olives, and the vinegar, sugar, mint and feta as before.

    Really tasty - I didn't have enough green lentils so use sweetcorn to make it up which worked okay. Also used mint sauce instead of fresh mint. Will definitely make this again.

    I didn't do the lamb but used the ingredients for the salad and mixed them into the couscous (only used a teaspoon of sugar though). It was delicious served with sausages. Next time I might try mint sauce as Debbie did instead of the dressing ingredients. Definite hit.

    This is by far our favourite dish just now! We usually have it with quinoa as well.

    The dressing complemented both the lamb and lentils really well, the whole family ate this and i don't usually get away with lentils so well - but they took seconds on their plate after the initial one spoonful to try! Lentils great as a side salad as well.

    Delicious, suprisingly so. I also serve with lamb sausages and added a touch of tobasco and parsley.
