Dinner #1: Lamb w/ smashed peas, feta and mint

Whilst I've ben cooking recently, I haven't been blogging. That said, there's a few photos stacked up that I'll work my way through eventually but for now, here's a weekday dinner (as made this evening) that takes about 10 minutes to prepare and cook.

Lamb w/ smashed peas, feta and mint (Serves 2)

Ingredients

2 x 150g pieces Lamb backstrap or fillet
Frozen Peas
Crumbled Feta
Crushed Garlic
Dried Oregano
Olive Oil
Lemon Juice
Fresh Mint

Method

1. Marinade lamb in olive oil, garlic and oregano. (ideally before you go to work in the morning)
2. Pan-fy over a medium-high heat for no more than 3 minutes each side. Cover with foil and leave to rest.
3. Boil frozen peas until tender, drain and crush lightly with a fork or potato masher. Mix with feta, fresh mint, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
4. Once lamb has rested, slice on the angle, serve on top of the peas, drizzled with a little more olive oil.
