Lamb, Spinach and Buckwheat Pilaf

Trim all the sinew and fat off the steaks and slice 1cm-thick against the grain.

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan and when hot, cook the lamb in batches until lightly browned and just cooked. Remove to a bowl, cover and set aside.

Cook the onion in the same pan with a good pinch of salt for 10 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and all the spices, season and stir everything together and cook for 2 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed.

Add the buckwheat and stock and bring to the boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The buckwheat should be cooked but will still have a little “bite” to it.

Add the spinach and stir until wilted, then add the lamb back to the pan along with any juices. Serve with dollops of yoghurt and harissa.
