SOME PREP
Using a spoon or a knife, gently scoop out the seeds from the Cucumber and cut into half-moons. In a bowl, combine the vinegar with a generous drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and mix to emulsify. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, olives, ½ the oregano, and toss to combine.
LENTILS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the lentils until golden and crispy, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.
LAMB
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel and season. When hot, sear the lamb until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with the NOMU rub and a knob of butter. Remove from the pan with all the pan juices.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
Add the lentils, and salad leaves to the bowl with the Cucumber mixture. Toss to combine.
DINNER IS READY
