Method

  • Rub the lamb steaks with the peeled garlic clove, a little olive oil, salt and pepper and grill on each side for 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove from the hot grill pan and cover with tin foil. Rest for 5 minutes while you make the salad.
  • Combine the sliced mango with the red onion, chilli, mint, coriander and watercress leaves. Put the lime juice and sugar into a bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute to dissolve the sugar, mix in the olive oil and then add into the salad and mix.
