An old video, I was 21 years old here! Delicious Cinnamon Spiced Lamb Leg Steaks, with a Fruity Wild Rice Salad, and Roasted Butternut Squash. This is a lot more decadent than my usual recipes- definitely a "treat meal" for special occasions.

1. Heat the oven to 200C. Whilst oven is heating up, start cooking the rice to packet instructions (usually 20-24 minutes, depending on brand) and peel/chop the butternut squash.
2. Drain rice and refresh under cold water to stop the cooking process. Put squash in a roasting tin with cumin seeds, oil and seasoning, and put into the oven, roasting for 30 minutes, stirring half way through.
3. Chop up pistachios, cherries and mint, and add to the rice. Add the orange, lemon, vinegar and olive oil to the rice, stir well, and adjust seasoning as necessary.
4. Heat up oil in a frying pan, and cook the lamb steaks on a high heat, about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium- less if you like them rare like I do.
6. Serve the lamb leg steaks with the rice salad, roasted vegetables, and a dollop of onion chutney on top of the meat.

*Try to use seasonal vegetables on this dish where you can- butternut squash in the autumn, beetroot works excellently in the winter, Cauliflower in the spring, and Tomatoes peppers or aubergines in the summer.
