Method

Step 1

Heat ½ tbsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, over high heat.

Step 2

Fry the lamb steaks for 5-7mins, or until browned all over, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside and prepare the rest of the salad.

Step 3

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a grill pan or large, non-stick frying pan, over medium heat (you can use the same pan used for the lamb). Grill or fry the peaches and asparagus, until lightly charred, roughly 5-7mins. Take them off the pan to cool.

Step 4

Assemble the rocket onto a large salad plate (or straight into lunch boxes).

Step 5

Thinly slice the lamb steaks that have been resting, and place them on top of the rocket.

Step 6

Then add the slightly cooled asparagus and peaches, and crumble feta on top.

Step 7

Make the pesto dressing by mixing the pesto and lemon juice, and drizzle over the salad.

Step 8

Top the salad with pumpkin seeds and enjoy!
