BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl with 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and set aside until rehydrated, 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
MINTY YOGHURT
Rinse and roughly chop the mint. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with ½ the chopped mint and seasoning. Set aside.
SWEET ONIONS
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
LUSH LAMB
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb chunks dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the lamb until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with the NOMU rub and a knob of butter. Remove from the pan. Season and set aside.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
In a salad bowl, combine the cooked bulgur, the fried onions, the roasted butternut, the rinsed green leaves and seasoning.
