Ingredients

Cooking Method

Method

  • 1
    Place the lamb steak on a plate and rub in 1 tsp olive oil, 1 crushed garlic clove, ½ tsp oregano, ½ tsp smoked paprika and the zest of half the lemon so it is evenly coated in the marinade. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
  • 2
    Once the vegetables are chopped, heat a sauté pan over a high heat and fry the lamb steak for 1 minute on each side until well browned. Wrap in tin foil and allow to rest while you make the rest of the orzo.
  • 3
    Heat the remaining tsp oil in the same sauté pan that you fried the lamb in and fry the onion and pepper for 4-5 minutes over a medium heat until soft.
  • 4
    Add the courgette, cherry tomatoes and sundried tomatoes and stir for a couple more minutes.
  • 5
    Add the remaining crushed garlic clove, ½ tsp of oregano, ½ tsp smoked paprika, tomato puree and chilli flakes. Stir for a couple more minutes.
  • 6
    Add the orzo pasta and stir for 2-3 minutes so the pasta grains become slightly toasted.
  • 7
    Add the chicken stock, bring the mixture to the boil then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to stop the pasta sticking.
  • 8
    After 5 minutes, return the lamb steak to the pan along with any resting juices and a splash more liquid if it has all been absorbed.
  • 9
    After 5 minutes, add the spinach, basil, parmesan, creme fraiche, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste, adding more liquid if necessary.
  • 10
    Remove the steak from the pan, slice evenly and serve on top of the orzo pasta with extra grated parmesan and basil leaves if preferred.
