Elevate your lamb and couscous with tangy homemade rhubarb relish.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tsp harissa seasoning
  • 4 x 175g lamb backstraps
  • 70.95 gm caster sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch rhubarb, trimmed, sliced into 2cm pieces
  • 250g packet pearl couscous
  • 510.00 gm salt-reduced chicken stock, warmed
  • 82.50 ml pitted Sicilian olives, chopped
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh coriander leaves, plus extra to serve
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, mix together half of the oil and the harissa. Add the lamb and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate until needed.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, 1/3 cup water, cinnamon stick, ginger, mustard seeds, and onion. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Add rhubarb, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until rhubarb is just tender. Remove from heat.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the couscous and cook for 6 minutes until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the stock, bring to a simmer, then lower the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the couscous is tender. Finally, mix in the olives and coriander.
  • Preheat a chargrill over medium-high heat. Grill lamb for 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare or desired doneness. Let it rest, covered, for 3 minutes before slicing.
  • Plate the couscous and lamb, then generously sprinkle with relish and fresh coriander. Serve with a side of refreshing lemon.
