Ingredients

Method

1

Place lamb, half the oil and spice blend in a large snap lock bag or glass bowl, turn to coat and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
2

Heat a char-grill pan or barbecue over medium-high heat and cook lamb for 4-5 minutes each side or until charred. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for a further 12-15 minutes, turning regularly or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat, set aside on a plate covered loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
3

Meanwhile, to make tabouli prepare burghul according to packet instructions. Drain, rinse and place in a large bowl. Add parsley, tomatoes, capsicum, cucumber, onions, lemon juice and remaining oil. Season and toss well to combine.
4

Slice lamb and arrange on a platter with tabouli, baby spinach, hummus, tzatziki, pickles, radishes, pita bread, coriander and lemon wedges.

Tips

  1. Lamb shoulder or lamb leg (bone-in) would also work well in this recipe.
  2. Any leftover lamb can be used in a flatbread or wrap with salad for a delicious lunch. Or mix it up, dice any leftover lamb and make a salad bowl to go with any leftover tabouli, dips, pickles and flatbreads.
  3. Get creative with your choice of Middle Eastern spice blend – you can also buy Baharat or Ras El Hanout spice blend at greengrocers and delis or make your own blend.
  4. Try using quinoa or cous cous instead of burghul in the tabouli.

Ingredients

Method

1

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper and place pita pockets on the tray. Brush pita pockets with 1 tablespoon oil, sprinkle with half the za’atar and cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, or until crisp and golden. Set aside to cool. Break into pieces.
2

Meanwhile, brush cutlets with 1 tablespoon oil and season. Sprinkle with remaining za’atar. Preheat a heavy-based skilled or barbecue to medium-high. Cook cutlets, for 2–3 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Set aside on a plate loosely covered with foil to rest for 5 minutes.
3

In a screw top jar place remaining oil, pomegranate molasses and lemon juice. Season and shake well to combine.
4

Place lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, radishes, dates, feta and pita onto a serving dish. Drizzle with dressing and toss well to coat.
5

Serve cutlets with salad topped with parsley, pistachios and pomegranate seeds.

Tips

  • Lamb loin chops, forequarter chops or chump chops would also work well in this recipe.
  • For frenched lamb cutlets, reduce cooking time by half.
  • Use your choice of garnishes – coriander or mint would work well as alternative herbs; almonds, hazelnuts or macadamias as alternative nuts. Add an extra drizzle of pomegranate molasses if pomegranate seeds are unavailable or out of season.
  • Za’atar spice blend is available at most green grocers or delis; try dukkah as an alternative seasoning.
