Method

  1. Step 1

    Cook the barley in a large saucepan of boiling water for 25 mins or until tender, adding the snow peas and sugar snap peas for the last 2 mins of cooking. Refresh under cold water. Drain well.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat a covered barbecue on medium-low. Spray the lamb with olive oil spray. Season. Cook the lamb, covered, on the barbecue grill for 10 mins. Turn the lamb and cook for a further 10 mins for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking, adding the carrot to the barbecue grill for the last 10 mins of cooking time. Transfer the lamb and carrot to a plate. Cover with foil. Set aside for 10 mins to rest.
  3. Step 3

    Place the oil, lemon juice, paprika and garlic in a screw-top jar. Seal and shake well to combine. Combine half the dressing with the barley mixture, carrot and mint in a large bowl.
  4. Step 4

    Divide the lamb and barley mixture among serving plates. Season. Drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve with lemon cheeks.
