LoveBites Lamb Steaks served with Roast Potato Bites and a Rocket Salad

This recipe brewed from a Sunday afternoon watching Nigelessa Nigella Lawson's new cooking show. This dish caught my eye as it consisted of two of my favourite things : roast spuds and rocket.  With my LoveBites spin on it, this recipe is simple and delicious with an oomph of flavour. A perfect alternative to a summer BBQ or a quick dish to impress.



Ingredients:
  • 2 lamb steaks
  •  olive oil
  • pinch of oregano, chilli flakes, and celery salt
  • garlic pepper and salt to taste
  •  tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
  • packet of rocket
  • 3 medium potatoes cut into cubes
  • balsamic vinegar to dress
Method:
  • Boil potatoes in a pot until cooked through
  • Whilst potatoes are cooking place lamb in a dish and cover with a lug of oil
  • Add spices and garlic pepper and salt, mix so lamb is covered in mixture
  • Once potatoes are cooked, drain and add to a frying pan of oil and fry until golden over a medium heat, you will need to keep turning the potatoes to ensure they get cispy all over
  • Fry the lamb steaks 2-3 minutes each side until browned but still pink in the middle
  • Arrange the rocket on a flat platter
  • Remove the potatoes from the pan, drain on a paper towel and arrange over the rocket
  • Arrange lamb on the platter, scatter chopped parsley
  • Dress with balsamic vinegar
Great served with mashed beetroot and feta salad, or slowroasted tomatoes.
Or add chopped cherry tomatoes and fresh red onion and feta to the salad for a Greek mix.
