Alternatively, cook lamb on BBQ grill for 2-3 minutes each side (depending on thickness) for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered for 5 minutes before slicing thickly. For extra flavour and sauce, spoon over the resting juices from the lamb.


Ingredients

Rice

  • 2 cups basmati rice

  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat and cook lamb for 2-3 minutes each side (depending on thickness) for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered for 5 minutes before slicing thickly.

  5. Toss in a medium bowl with vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil and season to taste.
