Ingredients (serves 4)

60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tbs olive oil
500g lamb leg steaks, excess fat trimmed
Olive oil spray
1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
100g Swiss brown mushrooms, thinly sliced
60g (1/3 cup) drained reduced-fat semi-dried tomatoes, halved
40g (1/4 cup) pitted kalamata olives
130g (1/2 cup) light Greek-style yoghurt

450g pkt microwaveable basmati rice
100g baby spinach leaves

Method

Combine lemon juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, coriander, paprika, turmeric and half the oil in a sealable plastic bag. Add the lamb. Turn to coat. Seal the bag and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.

Preheat a chargrill or barbecue on high. Drain lamb. Spray with oil and cook for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover and set aside for 3 minutes to rest.

Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion and mushroom, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Stir in tomato and olives. Cover. Set aside.

Combine yoghurt and chilli sauce in a bowl. Heat rice following packet directions. Add rice and spinach to onion mixture. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Slice lamb. Divide rice mixture and lamb among serving plates. Top with yoghurt mixture and parsley.
