Description
A vibrant Middle Eastern–inspired mezze bowl featuring spiced grilled lamb, crispy air-fried cauliflower, fresh vegetables, warm garlic flatbread, and creamy tzatziki for a fast, flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Air-Fried Cauliflower:
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chicken salt (or plain salt)
2 tsp cornflour
Grilled Lamb:
600 g boneless lamb leg steaks
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
To Serve:
2 flatbreads or 4 pita pockets, toasted
2 tsp garlic butter
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
100 g cherry tomatoes, quartered
4 Tbsp store-bought tzatziki
Instructions
- Add cauliflower florets to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle cumin, chicken salt, and cornflour. Toss to coat.
- Air fry at 180°C for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through. Spray with oil if needed.
- In another bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, coriander, and salt. Coat lamb steaks in seasoning.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Cook lamb about 5 minutes per side or until done to preference. Let rest.
- Toast flatbreads or pitas, cut into triangles, and spread with garlic butter while warm.
- Slice rested lamb. Assemble bowls with air-fried cauliflower, lamb, cucumber, and tomatoes.
- Add garlic flatbread on the side and finish each bowl with tzatziki.
Notes
Swap lamb for beef steak like sirloin or scotch fillet.
Use hummus instead of tzatziki for a dairy-free variation.
Add toppings like feta, olives, pickled onions, or roasted capsicum.
Roast cauliflower at 200°C for 30 minutes if not air-frying.
Serve over couscous or rice for a more filling bowl.
