Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Place the potatoes in a large pan and add cold, salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Step 2.
While the potatoes cook, put the lamb chunks in a bowl with the ground cumin, amchoor, garlic purée, and salt. Stir to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
-
Step 3.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the lamb and cook, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes, until golden brown and beginning to char around the edges. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Step 4.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them steam dry for a couple of minutes. Return them to the pan and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter until well coated.
-
Step 5.
Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the chopped coriander, wild garlic (or spinach), and pear pieces. Mix gently to combine.
-
Step 6.
Add the cooked lamb to the bowl and pour over the lemon juice. Toss everything again until evenly mixed. Spoon the salad into serving bowls and serve immediately.
