For 2 servings

For the lamb :

1 packet PERi-PERi rub (choose your flavour)

2 lamb neck fillets (2x120g)

1 tbsp olive oil

For the jewelled rice :

1 cup basmati rice

2 cups boiling water

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp ground turmeric

Juice of 1⁄2 lemon

25g dried cranberries

Large handful of fresh chopped parsley

10 fresh mint leaves

For the PERi-yogurt :

Method

Preheat the oven 200°C. Heat a sauce pan over a high heat, and add 1 tbsp of olive oil and rice. Cook for 2 minutes then add 2 cups of boiling water. Reduce heat and cook until all the water has evaporated. Turn off the heat and cover with a clean folded tea towel, allow to steam for 10 minutes.

Heat a frying pan (one that fits in the oven) over a high heat and add a teaspoon of oil. Brown the lamb and then sprinkle with PERi-PERi rub. Transfer to the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and rest for 5 minutes.

Mix rice with olive oil, ground turmeric, juice of 1⁄2 a lemon, pomegranate seeds, cranberries, parsley and mint leaves.

Mix the yogurt and PERi-PERi sauce.

Place jewelled rice salad in the middle of the plate, slice the lamb and place on top. Drizzle with yogurt and get stuck in!
