  3. Place lamb in a medium bowl with miso paste (if using) and thyme. Rub mixture over lamb to coat well and set aside.

  5. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium to high heat. Fry lamb for 2–3 minutes each side, for medium-rare (depending on thickness) or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered with tinfoil to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  6. Divide honey roasted kumara and vegetables between plates and top with sliced lamb.
