The image is quite misleading as the vegetables are really the main component. You can barely see the lamb at all. It tastes ok but wouldn’t make it again.
Actually, I take it back. I chopped up the cauliflower steaks because they fell apart anyway, added a bit more seasoning and then mixed it in the lemon yoghurt. Lovely!
Hi Jacinta
Thanks for your comments. I’m glad it worked out for you in the end. I think your method sounds delicious!
Warm regards

I tried using fish as I don’t eat red meat – it was delicious. Would make again.
