Sumac lamb with broccoli tabbouleh

For a quick dinner, this sumac-spiced roast lamb packs quite a punch. You could grill it on the barbecue for a smokier flavour, which would work well with the broccoli tabbouleh.

Cook the lamb on the barbecue for an extra smoky flavour.

Ingredients

Broccoli tabbouleh

Method

Main

1.For broccoli tabbouleh, boil quinoa in a saucepan until tender (8-10 minutes), then strain through a fine sieve, spread evenly on a tray, and cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, blanch broccoli until bright green (1-2 minutes). Drain, refresh in iced water, drain again and set aside. Whisk olive oil, lemon rind and juice, and garlic in a bowl and season to taste. Combine quinoa, broccoli and herbs in a bowl and toss with dressing. Season to taste.
2.Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200C. Combine garlic, sumac, cumin, mint, lemon rind and juice and half the oil in a bowl. Add lamb, season to taste and toss to coat. Heat remaining oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium heat, brown lamb all over (2-3 minutes), then roast in oven until cooked to your liking (4-5 minutes for medium-rare). Transfer to a plate or tray, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
3.Slice lamb and serve warm with broccoli tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, lemon wedges and extra sumac.
