Method

Lightly spiced lamb sits atop a fruit and veg salad in this simple summer recipe. Minimal marination time helps create a speedy, healthy starter that is both gluten and dairy-free, perfect to serve at a barbecue.

  1. Sprinkle the cumin and chilli sauce on both sides of the steaks, marinate for 15 minutes (if you have time).
  2. Preheat the grill then cook the lamb steaks for 8-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the meat is tender.
  3. Meanwhile, make the salad. Using a peeler, cut the carrots and cucumber into long thin strips. Using a sharp knife, cut the top and bottom off each orange, cut away all the peel and pith, then cut out each segment of orange (hold the fruit over a bowl as you do this to catch the juice; use it in the dressing).
  4. Mix the carrots, cucumber, oranges and roasted pepper and olives in a salad bowl and drizzle with the orange juice and balsamic vinegar.
  5. Allow the meat to rest for 3-4 minutes, then slice and arrange on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
