Ingredients

Feta skordalia

Method

1

For feta skordalia, boil potatoes in a saucepan until tender (25 minutes). Drain, then mash. Transfer to a large bowl and add remaining ingredients. Season to taste; stir to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

2

Meanwhile, preheat a lightly greased barbecue or a char-grill pan over high heat. Drizzle lamb with oil and season. Cook lamb, turning halfway, until cooked to medium-rare (2-3 minutes each side). Set aside to rest in a warm place (5 minutes).

3

Meanwhile, place oil, crushed olives, herbs and lemon juice in a bowl; season to taste and stir to combine.

4

To serve, place lamb on a platter with skordalia on the side. Scatter skordalia with extra feta, flat-leaf parsley and lemon zest. Spoon crushed olives over lamb and top with watercress and spring onion.

Skordalia is a Greek dip made with a base of mashed potato blended with garlic, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and sometimes bread.

This recipe also requires resting (see method).
