Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 lbs lamb steaks
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 stalk celery, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup shelled fresh peas
  • 7 oz sugar snap peas, trimmed

Method

  • Combine the lamb and 1 tbsp of the oil in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Sprinkle the lamb with celery salt.
  • Heat a grill pan on high heat or preheat the grill to medium-high. Cook the lamb for about 3 mins each side or until cooked to desired doneness. Cover and let stand for 10 mins, then slice thickly.
  • Meanwhile, for the salad, combine the celery, onion, tomato, parsley, lemon juice and remaining oil in a large bowl and season to taste.
  • Add the peas to a medium saucepan of boiling water and boil, uncovered, for 2 mins. Add the sugar snap peas and boil, uncovered, for about 1 min or until bright green. Drain well.
  • Add the hot peas and lamb to the salad mixture and toss gently to combine. Accompany the salad with crusty bread or grilled bread slices, if desired.
