Method

  • 1. Whisk the chilli paste with the oil, salt & pepper and drizzle about 1 tbspn over lamb. Rub in to coat sides evenly.
  • 2. Preheat grill, then grill lamb for about 3 minutes per side.
  • 3. Tip couscous, almonds & raisins into a heatproof bowl. Cover with 300mL hot water (or stock if you are feeling particularly energetic). Cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork, add the remaining chilli oil and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
  • 4. Serve lamb on top of couscous, with a handful of herbs sprinkled on top

    • Tips

    • Really good with chargrilled veggies - you've already got the grill out, so may as well do some capsicum (peppers), eggplant (aubergine) and zuchinni (courgettes) - why is it that all my favourite vegetables have different names in this country?? Oh, and mushrooms. Those appear to have travelled well.
