Cooking Instructions:

Before cooking

Preheat oven to 210°C (fanbake)
1. TO COOK THE PUMPKIN:

Line an oven proof baking dish with tin foil. Add the steamed pumpkin to the foil and pull the sides up but do not cover. Pour over the lemon cream and cook in the preheated oven for 20 mins.
2. TO COOK THE LAMB:

Remove the lamb leg steaks from their packaging, pat dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. When the pan is hot cook lamb leg steaks for 2 mins each side. Add the pot of maple glaze and cook for a further 1 min. Remove the steaks from the pan and reduce the glaze for a further 1 min.
TO SERVE:

Divide creamy pumpkin between plates, top with rocket and glazed lamb. Spoon over pistachio salsa verde and drizzle any remaining maple glaze around the lamb.
