Cook lamb on the BBQ for about 2 minutes each side depending on thickness for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking.

Ingredients

Couscous

  • 1/3 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon From My Kitchen Sumac Pistachio Blend
  • ½ cob corn, kernels removed
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • ¼ cup couscous
  • ½ carrot, grated

Sumac Pistachio Lamb

  • ½ bunch green beans
  • 150g lamb rump steak (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons From My Kitchen Sumac Pistachio Blend

To Serve

  • ½ orange, peeled and cut into segments
  • 1-2 tablespoons date and mustard dressing
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped mint leaves
  • 1-2 teaspoons sliced almonds

Steps

  1. Bring a half kettle to the boil. Preheat BBQ grill or hot plate to medium-high (if using). Prepare vegetables. Add stock, first measure of Sumac Pistachio Blend, corn and olive oil to a small pot. Bring to the boil on high heat. Turn off heat, add couscous, stir, cover and leave for 5 minutes, then fluff up grains with a fork.
  2. Place beans in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Drain and return to pot, with a drizzle of olive oil. Cover to keep warm.
  3. Pat lamb dry and place onto a plate. Coat with second measure of Sumac Pistachio Blend and a drizzle of oil.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on mediumhigh heat. Cook lamb for about 2 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside to rest, covered, for a few minutes.
  5. Stir carrot through couscous and season. Thinly slice lamb against the grain.
  6. To serve, spoon couscous onto a plate and top with sumac pistachio lamb, orange and a drizzle of date dressing. Sprinkle over mint leaves and almonds, and serve beans on the side.
