Title: Lamb and fetta salad
Post by: Tea on July 07, 2008, 10:21:56 PM
2lb lamb off the bone.  A cheaper cut of meat can be used and works just as well.

1pkt baby spinach leaves
2 punnets cherry tomatoes
1/2 large butternut pumpkin
1/2lb fresh green beans
1lb fetta
lime
cloves garlic
olive oil

Cook meat with you favourite marinade and cut into srtips.  Cube pumpkin into 1/2 - 1in pieces.  Put on baking tray and sprinkle with oil and crushed garlic cloves.  Cut tomatoes in half and place on baking tray cut side up.  Sprinkle with a little oil.  Bake both pumpkin and tomatoes until just cooked.
Top and tail the beans and cut into 2-3 pieces depending in their length.  Cook with a little seasoning until just under cooked.
Cut or crumble fetta into bite size pieces.

On a large serving platter, layer first with spinach, then half the meat, half the pumpkin, half the beans, half the tomatoes and half the feta.  Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

In a small container, squeeze the juice of 1 lime, cruched garlic and equal quantities of oil to the lime. Shake well to combine and pour over salad just before serving.

Enjoy

Ok finally have a photo update.  Forgot to get the spinach, so ended up using a fancy lettuce, worked just as well.  Also used chicken for the meat and not lamb.
