Ingredients
- 400g lean thin cut boneless lamb leg steaks
- 1 tablespoon harissa paste
- 2 tablespoons rapeseed or olive oil
- 1 x 250g wholegrain rice pouch, cooked and cooled quickly
- 1 x 198g can sweetcorn kernels, drained
- 2 small red peppers, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped, optional
- Large bunch freshly chopped coriander or flat-leaf parsley
- 1 x 60g bag fresh rocket or baby spinach leaves

Method
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan until hot.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix the harissa and oil together. Brush the steaks on both sides with the flavoured oil.
- Cook the lamb for 2-3 minutes on each side (for medium) then cut into strips. If you want your steaks less pink, cook for a further 1-2 minutes on both sides.
- In a large bowl, add the rice, sweetcorn, peppers, chilli (if used), herbs, rocket or spinach leaves and lamb.
- Season to taste, add lemon juice and mix together. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
