Spiced Lamb And Lentil Protein Power Bowl

Ingredients:

• 500 grams lamb leg steak, fat trimmed
• 500 grams green lentils
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 medium cucumber
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons mixed herbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic

Instructions:

1. Preheat a grill on medium heat. While the grill is heating, season the lamb steaks with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of mixed herbs. Grill the lamb for 6-8 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Leave it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
2. Rinse the lentils thoroughly under cold water, then drain. Place them into a pot with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes or until lentils are tender.
3. While the lentils are cooking, cut the red bell pepper, carrots, and cucumber into thin strips. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegetables and a teaspoon of mixed herbs, and sauté until they become tender.
4. For the dressing, combine 4 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, lemon juice, 2 cloves of crushed garlic, remaining olive oil, and some pepper. Mix until smooth.
5. Mix the cooked lentils and sautéed vegetables together, and then add the dressing. Stir until everything is well combined.
