Ingredients
- 250 g lean lamb fillets or lamb backstrap
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 butternut pumpkin peeled, deseeded and cut into 2cm cubes
- 1/2 red onion cut into wedges
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves

- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Place pumpkin, red onion and 2 tablespoons of the dressing in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Transfer to baking tray and bake for about 30 minutes, until pumpkin is soft and onion is browned.
