Ingredients
- 4 x 200g lamb backstraps
- 2 tablespoons piri piri sauce (see note)
- 1 1/3 cups (300g) risoni pasta (orzo)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 large tomatoes, seeds removed, chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped marjoram leaves
Method
- Step 1Place lamb in a bowl with piri piri and turn to coat. Cover and set aside to marinate while you make the salad.
- Step 2Meanwhile, cook risoni in a pan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons cooking water, then rinse in cold water and drain again. Place in a large bowl with reserved cooking water and remaining ingredients. Season and toss well to combine.
- Step 3Heat a chargrill or frypan over medium-high heat. Cook lamb for 3-4 minutes each side until charred but still pink in centre, or until done to your liking. Rest lamb briefly, then slice thickly. Serve on salad.
