Cook Along
Directions
1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Rub the lamb with olive oil, Ras el Hanout, and a generous pinch of salt. Place it fat-side up in a roasting tray and roast for 20–25 minutes for pink, or longer if you prefer it more cooked. Rest under foil for 10 minutes before carving into cutlets.

2.

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Blanch the asparagus for 2 minutes, then add the peas and cook for 1 minute more. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and keep them vibrant.

3.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, radishes, asparagus, peas, and torn mint. Whisk the lemon zest and juice with olive oil, season well, and toss through the salad just before serving. Crumble over the goat’s cheese.

4.

Spoon yoghurt onto a serving platter or individual plates. Arrange the sliced lamb on top or to the side of the yoghurt.

5.

Serve the salad alongside, and scatter over toasted pine nuts if using.
