πŸ›’ Ingredients

  • βœ“ 220g lean lamb loin, cut into 2cm cubes
  • βœ“ 120g halloumi cheese, sliced 1cm thick
  • βœ“ 100g beef liver, sliced thin and patted dry
  • βœ“ 4 cups mixed salad greens (rocket, spinach, cos)
  • βœ“ 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • βœ“ 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • βœ“ 80g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • βœ“ 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • βœ“ 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • βœ“ 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 0% Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. If too thick, add 1 tbsp water. Set aside.
2. Marinate the lamb: Pat lamb cubes dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp of sumac. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow seasoning to penetrate.
3. Prepare beef liver: Pat beef liver slices thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and pepper. This prevents spattering and ensures a golden sear.

4. Grill lamb and halloumi: Heat a grill pan or griddle to medium-high (200Β°C). Brush lightly with oil. Grill lamb cubes for 3-4 minutes per side until medium-rare with charred edges. Remove and rest for 2 minutes. Grill halloumi slices for 2 minutes per side until golden with char marks. Transfer to plate.
5. Pan-sear beef liver: In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add remaining oil. Sear liver slices for 90 seconds per side until golden outside and pink inside. Overcooking makes liver tough; err on the side of rare.
6. Assemble the salad: Divide greens between two large bowls. Top with cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, and red onion. Arrange grilled lamb, halloumi, and beef liver over vegetables.
7. Dress and finish: Drizzle Greek yogurt tahini dressing over each salad. Scatter fresh parsley and mint on top. Finish with a pinch of sumac for colour and brightness. Serve immediately while protein is still warm.
