Ingredients

  • 400g Quality Mark lamb rumps

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp Moroccan seasoning

  • 1 can chickpeas

  • ½ head cauliflower

    chopped
  • 1 courgette

    sliced
  • 4 small wholemeal pita pockets

  • 2 cups mixed lettuce leaves

For the dressing
  • ½ cup natural Greek yoghurt

  • 1 Tbsp tahini

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

  • a pinch of salt and pepper

Method

1

Rub lamb with Moroccan seasoning. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat and cook lamb 2-3 minutes each side for medium rare. Wrap in foil and rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

2

While the pan is still hot, add the sliced courgette and grill on each side until soft and slightly charred. Set aside.

3

Pre-heat the air-fryer (or oven) to 200°C. Toss cauliflower with olive oil and Moroccan seasoning and air-fry for 10 minutes.

4

Drain and rinse chickpeas and pat dry with a clean tea towel. Toss chickpeas with olive oil and Moroccan seasoning then air-fry until golden and crisp (about 7 minutes). Set aside.

5

Slice pita pockets into chips and air-fry for 5 minutes until crisp.

For the yoghurt
1

Combine yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

To serve
1

Fill ½ a plate with leafy greens, cauliflower and courgette, ¼ of the plate with sliced lamb and ¼ of the plate with pita chips.

2

Scatter with chickpeas and drizzle with tahini dressing.
