Tip

Tip
You can use chickpeas instead of lentils, if you like, or serve the lamb with 300g couscous, soaked in 400ml just-boiled stock, for about 10 mins until tender.Making it with chicken
For a quick packed lunch, make the salad as above, adding a handful pitted black olives and a 200g pack roast chicken breasts, torn into pieces.

Method

  1. Make the salad: in a bowl, combine the lentils, roasted peppers and spinach. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice and mustard to make a dressing, then stir into the lentils.

  2. Heat grill to high and season the lamb. Grill for 3 mins on each side, then spoon 1 heaped tsp houmous on top of each cutlet. Grill for another min until the houmous starts to turn golden. Serve with the lentil salad and any extra houmous.
