Instructions

  1. To make the hummus, place the peas, chickpeas, mint, lemon juice and feta in a food processor and whizz until almost smooth.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high. Cook the lamb for about three minutes on each side and set aside to rest under a foil tent.
  3. To make the salad, place the rocket on a big platter, top with dots of the hummus, scatter with the broad beans, spring onions, cherry tomatoes and mustard cress.

  5. Serve with warm wraps or Turkish bread.

Notes

Tip
You can prepare the feta and pea hummus ahead of time and then assemble the salad when you have cooked the lamb.
