Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 150 grams Spinach leaves
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 15 grams Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground lamb to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the lamb is cooking, prepare the salad. Place the spinach leaves in a large salad bowl.
Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and roughly chop the fresh parsley. Add these ingredients to the bowl with the spinach.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and gently toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and water to create the dressing. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary, and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Top the salad with the warm spiced lamb.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
