Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Hummus Mix
- 500g new potatoes
- 3 tbsp houmous
- 10 pitted green olives, roughly chopped
- small handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Lamb and Vegetables
- 2 lamb leg steaks
- 1 tsp olive oil
- bunch cherry tomato on the vine
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes: Place the new potatoes in boiling salted water and cook for about 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Prepare the grill or griddle: While the potatoes are cooking, heat a grill or griddle pan to medium-high heat to get ready for cooking the lamb and tomatoes.
- Season and grill the lamb: When the potatoes are almost cooked, season the lamb steaks with salt and pepper, then rub them with the olive oil. Place the steaks on the grill or griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, adjusting to your preferred level of doneness.
- Add the tomatoes: Halfway through cooking the lamb, add the cherry tomatoes still on the vine to the grill or griddle. Cook until the tomatoes start to soften, become juicy, and burst slightly.
- Drain and crush potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes well, return them to the warm pan, and gently crush them using a fork or potato masher to create a rustic texture.
- Mix in hummus and garnishes: Stir the houmous, chopped green olives, and chopped parsley into the crushed potatoes. Season the mixture well with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Serve: Plate the hummus mashed potatoes alongside the grilled lamb steaks and roasted cherry tomatoes for a colorful and flavorful meal.
Notes
- For a fresh twist, try making a lamb, chickpea & potato salad by combining cooked potatoes with houmous, olives, parsley, natural yogurt, drained chickpeas, sliced spring onions, and seasoning.
- Adjust the cooking time of the lamb steaks based on your preferred level of doneness.
- Using a griddle pan instead of a grill gives lovely char marks and flavor.
- Ensure the potatoes are drained thoroughly to avoid watery texture when mixing with the houmous.
