Lamb Steak With Greek Tomato Sauce And Feta Recipes

LAMB STEAK WITH GREEK TOMATO SAUCE AND FETA

Steps:

• Rub the lamb with the olive oil, oregano, and cinnamon. Marinate for 1-2 hours, and bring to room temperature before cooking.
• SAUCE:.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Sauté the onion with a pinch of salt until soft, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic, cinnamon, and oregano, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the wine, swirl it around the pan, and then add the tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 8 minutes.
• Check the seasoning, and add honey if the sauce tastes acidic.
• Cover the sauce and set aside.
• LAMB:.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Place the lamb in the skillet, and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, until done to your liking.
• Remove the lamb to a warmed plate, and deglaze the pan with some additional red wine.
• Add the sauce to the skillet and simmer briefly.
• To serve, spoon the sauce over the lamb, and top with the feta and parsley.

TASTY BAKED LAMB WITH FETA CHEESE AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Cube the neck fillet and place on the base of a 9inch square oven dish.
• Change the dish size to suit you but we normally have enough lamb to cover the base of the dish - this makes a large meal for us two!
• Salt and pepper the lamb.
• Then cube feta cheese and sprinkle over the top.
• Thinly slice the tomatoes and layer over the top so that the dish is covered.
• Sprinkle on dried herbs.
• Sprinkle over the olive oil.
• Bake in the oven for 60 to 90 mins (we normally go for 90) at Gas mark 5 or 190°C.
• Half way through the baking time take the dish out and use a baster to draw out the juices at the bottom of the dish and squirt on the top.

OREGANO LAMB STEAKS WITH LEMON, OLIVE OIL AND FETA CHEESE MASH

Steps:

• Rip the tender little leaves off the oregano sprigs and place into a bowl with the olive oil. Crumble in the feta cheese. Season, to taste, with freshly ground black pepper, then add the chopped spring onions and lemon juice and mix everything together gently, mashing some of the cheese.
• Heat a griddle pan until hot, season the lamb steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and brush each steak with a little olive oil before placing on the hot griddle. Cook for a few minutes one each side, or until lightly crisp - I like mine still pink in the middle.
• Pop the pitta breads into a toaster or under the grill for a minute or two, until they are puffy and hot; carefully cut them into three pieces and place on the serving plate.
• Place the lamb steaks on top of the hot, cut pitta bread and while they are still sizzling, gently spoon over the feta and herb mash. Eat immediately, while all is hot, herbal and piquant! Serve with jacket potatos, fresh mixed salad leaves and a good glass of wine.
