Dish Name: Lamb and Lentil Power Bowl
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lamb leg steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked lentils (cook from raw to reduce carbs)
- 1 cup thinly sliced radish
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese (optional, leave out for dairy-free)
- Lemon juice and zest for dressing
- Fresh herbs: dill, mint, parsley
Instructions:
- Season the lamb steak with sea salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb steak and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a bit.
- While the lamb is resting, prepare your power bowl. Start with a base of fresh spinach. Add the cooked lentils, thinly sliced radish, and diced cucumber.
- Slice the lamb into thin strips. Add it to the power bowl.
- Sprinkle the power bowl with feta cheese (if using). Add freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh herbs. Season with a little more sea salt and pepper if needed.
