Preparation
Boil the orzo & peas
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the orzo and boil, 9 to 10 min., until just tender.
- In the last 2 min., add the peas.
- Drain and rinse.
- Return to the pot and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, mince the garlic.
- Juice the lemon.
- Quarter both types of zucchini lengthwise; halve crosswise. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the garlic, ¼ of the spices and S&P.
- Crumble the cheese.
- Pick the mint leaves off the stems; roughly chop ½ the leaves.
Toast the pistachios
- Heat a small, dry pan on medium-high.
- Add the pistachios and toast, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned.
Cook the lamb & zucchini
- Meanwhile, in a second medium bowl, combine the lamb*, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and garlic, and S&P.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the lamb* and cook, 2 to 4 min. per side, until cooked as desired. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the zucchini and cook, turning occasionally, 3 min., until tender.
Make the salad
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, chopped mint, pistachios, lemon juice, cheese, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the orzo and peas between your plates.
- Top with the salad and lamb.
- Garnish with the remaining mint. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking lamb to a minimum internal temperature of 63°C.
