Slice Lamb as required and serve with the salad.

To pickle the carrots:

Tips:


Try using trimmed Lamb leg steaks instead of Lamb rump.

Sliced cucumber or red onion can also be pickled and added to the salad.

For even carrot matchsticks, try using a mandolin slicer.

This dish is also great served in noodle boxes as appetisers when entertaining.
