    1 Combine 1 teaspoon garlic, 2 teaspoons olive oil and lemon zest in a small bowl. Brush over the polenta wedges.

    2 Spray a large grill pan with olive oil and set over high heat. Fry polenta wedges for 3-4 minutes each side, or until golden and heated through. Remove from pan, set aside and keep warm.

    3 Spray pan with olive oil and return to high heat. Rub lamb with remaining garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, or until cooked to your liking. Cover with foil and rest.

    4 Blanch peas and courgettes in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain well and place in a medium bowl. Add mint and feta and toss gently. Serve greens with grilled polenta and sliced lamb.

    HFG tip

    Cook polenta according to packet instructions, whisking constantly until all polenta is stirred in and there are no lumps. Pour the polenta into a greased tin and chill before slicing.
