Ingredients

• 500g leftover roast lamb

Marinade ingredients

• 1 medium red onion
• 6 leaves fresh sage
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, loosely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint, loosely chopped
• 1 dessertspoon lemon or lime, zest and juice
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary, loosely chopped
• 3 dessert spoons olive oil
• 1 clove fresh garlic
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• black pepper to taste
• chilli (optional to taste)

Salad ingredients

• 1 bag mixed lettuce
• 4 radishes
• 1 avocado, peeled
• 1 red pepper
• 2 stalks spring onion
• ¼ telegraph cucumber
• ½ cup fresh coriander, loosely chopped
• 10 cherry tomatoes

Method

1. Use a stick blender or food processor to blend red onion, sage, oregano, mint, rosemary, lemon zest and garlic. Blend until reaching a smooth puree consistency.
2. Place in a medium sized mixing bowl.
3. Add the turmeric and pepper and mix in with a spoon. Put to one side.
4. On a clean chopping board slice or shred the leftover lamb into small shredded pieces or strips.
5. Once all prepared place in the marinade and mix through so that the meat is covered with the marinade. Let the meat marinate for 2 hours or overnight
6. Place a large frying pan onto the stovetop at a medium to high heat.
7. Heat olive oil in the pan until hot (not smoking) then place the marinated meat gently into the hot oil (It may splash – have a splash guard ready).
8. Fry until the meat is crunchy and golden to well done.
9. Turn off once cooked and let cool for 5 mins before placing on the salad.
10. As the meat is cooking you are preparing the salad; wash all salad ingredients and slice into salad size pieces.
11. Layer in a flat bowl with the lettuce in the bottom and other ingredients on top creating a beautiful and colourful dish.
12. Once you have finished making the salad gently place the lamb on top in the middle. Squeeze juice from one lemon or lime over the top of the lamb.
13. Finish off with fresh coriander (or parsley) and spring onion as garnish.

• Eat straight away, do not store the meat once it has been re-heated

• For a garlic boost serve with some Garlic sauce
