This is my favourite fabulous way to have a low fat healthy tasty guilt free kebab, one you can have every week if you want! Full of good for you fresh ingredients and flavours, I don't feel I have missed out on a take away, and would never go back to one now, this is super fast and easy from wok to plate in under five minutes, total prep/cooking time is under ten minutes.
Ingredients
(serves 2)
6oz lamb (leg or neck fillet)
1 tbsp fesh oregano or 1/2 tsp if dried
Sea salt to taste
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 flat tsp coconut oil
1/4 red cabbage finely sliced
1/4 white cabbage finely sliced
1 bunch watercress
2 carrots juillenned
1 onion finely sliced
4 tbsp creme fraiche
6 mint leaves chopped
4 tbsp grated cucumber
2 chillies sliced
Prepare all your ingredients first, in a large bowl mix the cabbages, carrot, onion and watercress and pile half in each bowl. Take the creme fraiche, add the cucumber, mint and mix, drizzle half over the salad.
Slice the lamb on the diagonal really thin so you have sushi size pieces, season with the salt, pepper and toss with the oregano. Heat your wok hot, add the coconut oil and then the lamb, stir fry
for approx two minutes for medium rare, sprinkle over the salad and finish of with the rest of the fresh cucumber and mint creme fraiche and fresh sliced chillies then enjoy.
