This warming Autumn salad can also be made without meat and either served alongside a roasted leg of lamb or on its own as a vegetarian meal – just add some Pams Couscous! You can also add some toasted Pams Walnuts for extra crunch.
Ingredients
1 medium sized Pams Parsnip
2 medium sized Pams Carrots
3 tablespoons Pams Pure Olive Oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground sumac
1 teaspoon Pams Ground Cumin
400g lamb fillets (or Pams Lamb Backstrap)
2 large handfuls Pams Baby Rocket leaves
1 small Pams Organic Red Onion, finely chopped
¼ cup Pams Superfoods Golden Berries
400g can Pams Brown Lentils, drained and rinsed
Dressing
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Pams Squeezable Honey
1/3 cup Pams Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Chop the parsnip and carrots into batons approximately 5cm long. Toss them together in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, sumac and cumin.
Arrange the vegetables in a single layer in a small roasting dish and cook for 25 minutes until tender and starting to colour. Set aside to cool.
Brush the lamb with a little olive oil and cook in a pan over a high heat for 6 minutes, turning at times, until well coloured (this is for medium-rare lamb and using small fillets).
Set the lamb aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1cm thick slices.
Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the carrots, parsnips, lamb, rocket, red onion, golden berries and lentils together in a bowl. Arrange in a large serving platter and drizzle with the dressing.
