Olive oil, to drizzle
300g natural yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 Lebanese cucumber, finely chopped
1 small fresh red chilli, halved, deseeded, finely chopped
2 tbs water

2 (about 500g) lamb eye of loin (backstraps)
100g baby spinach leaves
2 Lebanese cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 x 180g ctn South Cape Persian feta, drained, crumbled
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Place the pumpkin on a baking tray. Drizzle over a little oil and toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender. (Alternatively, place pumpkin in a microwave-safe dish. Cook, covered, on High/800watts/100% for 4-5 minutes or until tender).
- Meanwhile, combine the yoghurt, garlic, mint, cucumber, chilli and water in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until toasted. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the oil in the frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle seasoning over the lamb. Add to the pan and cook for 4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 3 minutes to rest. Thickly slice across the grain.
- Place the pumpkin, lamb, spinach, cucumber and pine nuts in a large bowl and gently toss until just combined. Divide among serving plates. Top with feta. Serve with the yoghurt mixture.
