Ingredients:
  • 300g eggplant, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 red capsicum, deseeded, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 2 zucchini, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 9.20 gm olive oil
  • 2 (200g each) lamb eye of loin (backstrap)
  • 7.50 gm Middle Eastern spice mix
  • 380ml couscous
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 230°C. Line a large roasting pan with non-stick baking paper. In a bowl, combine eggplant, capsicum, zucchini, onion, and 1 teaspoon of oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat evenly. Spread on the lined tray and roast for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  • Brush a chargrill pan or frypan with the remaining oil. Coat the lamb in the spice mix. Grill for 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness or until cooked to your preference. Let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes, then slice thickly on a diagonal.
  • Bring the stock to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the couscous, then remove from heat. Stir well, cover, and let sit for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains.
  • Combine the roasted vegetables and lemon juice with the couscous, tossing well to mix. Enjoy alongside the lamb.
