Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lamb loin or chops
- 2 medium mango
- 150 grams mixed salad greens
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 10 grams fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Mix well.
Place the lamb in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the lamb is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a richer flavor.
While the lamb marinates, prepare the salad. Peel and slice the mango into thin strips. Thinly slice the red onion and cucumber. Wash and dry the mixed salad greens.
In a large salad bowl, combine the salad greens, mango slices, red onion, and cucumber. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. For best results, allow the lamb to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Toss the salad with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Arrange the sliced lamb over the top.
Garnish the salad with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
