- 1 carrot
SUMAC LAMB
- 300g lamb rump steaks (at room temperature)
- 1½ teaspoons sumac
COUSCOUS DRESSING
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon runny honey
- ½ teaspoon mustard (e.g. Dijon, wholegrain)
- 1½ teaspoons vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine)

Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ grill to high (if using).
-
Toss pumpkin on prepared tray with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 15 minutes, until tender and starting to brown. Turn once during cooking.
-
Bring stock to the boil in a medium pot on high heat. Once boiling, turn off heat, add couscous, olive oil and salt. Stir, cover and leave for 5 minutes. Once cooked, fluff up grains with a fork.
-
Pat lamb dry with paper towels, season with salt and coat with sumac. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook lamb, in batches, for about 2 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered to rest, for 5 minutes before slicing thickly against the grain.
-
Roughly chop baby spinach and grate courgette and carrot. Add to pot with cooked couscous along with cooked pumpkin and gently toss to combine. In a small bowl, whisk all couscous dressing ingredients together. Add to pumpkin and spinach couscous and gently mix.
-
Mix all lamb drizzle ingredients together in a small bowl.
-
spoon roast pumpkin and spinach couscous onto plates. Crumble over feta, top with slices of sumac lamb and lamb drizzle.
