Harissa Trout Beetroot Grapefruit Salad With Whipped Feta Food

HARISSA LAMB & LENTIL SALAD WITH WHIPPED FETA

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the ground lamb with the cumin seeds and 2 teaspoons of the harissa paste and the parsley. Season well and shape into 12 small patties.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the patties for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
• Meanwhile massage the kale with half the extra-virgin olive oil to soften it. Season with salt and pepper and tip into a bowl. Warm the lentils according to the packet instructions and add to the kale along with the rest of the extra-virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and some seasoning.
• Whip the feta and yogurt together with a fork or whisk until creamy. Swirl through the rest of the harissa and season with plenty of black pepper. Serve the lamb patties with the lentils and a dollop of the whipped feta.

ROASTED BEET AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil. Roast about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until fork tender. Remove beets from oven, unwrap and let cool 5 minutes before peeling. Slice the beets into eighths.
• Remove the peel of the grapefruit with a sharp knife, cutting all the way down to the grapefruit flesh. Then cut the individual grapefruit segments out from their skin, using the supreme technique. Place the grapefruit segments in a bowl. Take the inner grapefruit remains and squeeze whatever juice you can out of it over the top of the grapefruit segments in the bowl.
• Make the dressing by mixing together all the dressing ingredients along with all the juice that you can strain from the bowl of grapefruit.
• Assemble the salad: Make a little heap of alfalfa in the middle of the plate. Scatter the cut beets around the plate. Pinch off pieces of the grapefruit segments and scatter them around the plate. Drizzle generously with dressing, top with a couple more grinds black pepper and serve.
