TIME TO GET ROASTIN’
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the onion wedges and rinsed baby tomatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and half of the Roast Rub. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until the onion is crisping up and the tomatoes have blistered, shifting halfway.
MARINATE YOUR SALAD
Boil the kettle for step 3. Place the diced cucumber, the sliced spring onion, and three-quarters of the chopped mint in a bowl. Crumble in half of the drained feta, squeeze in some lemon juice, and add some lemon zest to taste. Toss to coat, season to taste, and set aside to marinate until serving.
TENDER BULGUR
Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat and stock in 200ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff with the fork on completion, replace the plate, and set aside to keep warm.
ROAST THE LAMB LEG
When the onions and tomatoes reach the halfway mark, place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the lamb for 4-7 minutes until browned but not cooked through, shifting as it colours. Remove from the heat on completion, add the remaining Roast Rub to the pan, and toss to coat. Place on the roasting tray amongst the veg (or use a separate tray if necessary). Finish off in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until cooked through to your preference. Remove from the tray on completion and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
VIBRANT BULGUR TABBOULEH
Once the bulgur and veggies are cooked, add them to the bowl of cucumber and spring onion. Toss to combine.
GRAB A BOWL AND PILE IT UP!
