| For the Lamb
Prepare the crust by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl and pour the olive oil until the mix is firm enough to coat the lamb.
Pan fry the rumps until golden brown on all sides, let the meat cool down on a trivet and brush with the Dijon mustard. Apply the crust firmly on top of the mustard, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top and cook in the oven (200c) for 12 to 18 minutes depending on the size of the rumps.
For the Taboulé
Drizzle some olive oil on the couscous semolina and mix then pour the boiling vegetable stock, do not stir at this stage. When the semolina has soaked up all the stock mix with a fork. Add the chopped mint, chilly, cucumber and onion.
Season to test with the lemon juice and olive oil, salt and pepper.
For the Salsa
Peel the tomatoes by placing them in boiling water for a few seconds, cut in ¼ and discard the centre part. Dice the flesh and mix with the rest of the ingredients finely chopped.
To Serve
Place the roasted lamb on a bed of taboulé and surround by the salsa. Use some roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves to decorate the plates. |
