Ingredients
MOROCCAN KUMARA
- 150g golden kumara, scrubbed and sliced into 0.5cm-thick rounds
- ½ carrot, cut in half lengthways and sliced 1cm
- ½ capsicum, core and seeds removed, cut in half lengthways
- ¼ red onion, cut into 0.5-1cm-thick wedges
- ½ teaspoon Moroccan spice mix
- ½ tomato
- 2 tablespoons coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon pistachio nuts
DATE DRESSING
- 6 dried dates, soaked in 2 tablespoons of hot water for 5 minutes
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon Moroccan spice mix
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
GREMOLATA-CRUSTED LAMB
- 150g lamb rump steak (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon gremolata
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Bring a half full kettle to the boil.
-
Toss kumara, carrot, capsicum and red onion with first measure of Moroccan spice mix and a drizzle of oil on first prepared tray. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 15-18 minutes, until starting to caramelise. Turn once during cooking.
-
While kumara cooks, prepare date dressing. Drain dates, reserve liquid and set aside. Finely chop dates and place in a small bowl with remaining date dressing ingredients and 1 tablespoon of reserved date water. Mix to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
-
Pat lamb dry with paper towels and season with salt. Heat a drizzle of oil in a small fry-pan on high heat. While pan heats, combine gremolata and breadcrumbs in a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Cook lamb for 30-60 seconds each side, until caramelised.
-
Place lamb on second prepared tray, evenly spread with mustard and sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of crumb mixture. Cook on rack above kumara for 3-5 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking and crumb is starting to brown.
-
While lamb cooks, dice tomato 1cm and chop coriander. When vegetables are cooked, remove from oven and toss with remaining Moroccan kumara ingredients. Toss with 2 tablespoons of date dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
place Moroccan kumara and gremolata-crusted lamb onto a plate. Drizzle with remaining date dressing. Serve extra gremolata on the side, if desired.
