Serves : 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp harrisa paste
- 300g stir fry beef strips
- 2 tsp rapeseed oil
- 1 red onion, finely sliced
- 250g cooked mixed grains - quinoa, lentils and wheat berries
- 50g soft dried apricots, finely sliced
- 2 tbsp mint leaves, roughly chopped

- 2 heads little gem lettuce, leaves separated
- ½ carrot, peeled and very finely sliced
- 1 red chilli or bird´s eye chilli, finely sliced
Method
-
Tip the harrisa paste into a bowl with the sliced beef and mix well, so that the beef is coated in harrisa. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
-
Heat a wok or large frying pan until hot, add the rapeseed oil and onion and stir fry for a couple of minutes until softened but not too coloured.
-
Add the beef and stir fry for another 1-2 minutes until browned but not cooked through. Add the mixed grains and apricots and stir fry for another 2 minutes until hot through.
-
Stir in the herbs and lime juice and season to taste.
-
Lay the little gem leaves into a large platter and spoon the mixture over the top of the leaves. Scatter the carrot over the top then finish with the chilli.
