  1. CINNAMON RICE & EVERYTHING NICE

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat with the rooibos powder and ½ the cinnamon. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  2. ALL THE ALMONDS

    Place the almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan.

  3. MINTY YOGHURT & SALSA

    In a bowl, add the diced cucumber, the yoghurt, ½ the sliced mint and ½ the sumac. Toss until fully combined. In a separate bowl, combine the pomegranate gems, the sultanas, the remaining mint and some seasoning.

  4. TOASTIN’ & ROASTIN’

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel. When hot, add the lamb chunks and fry for 3-4 minutes until browned, shifting as it colours. In the final minute, baste with the remaining cinnamon & sumac and a knob of butter. Season to taste.

  5. LEBANESE FUSION FEASTING!

    Make a bed of the cinnamon & rooibos rice and top with the lamb chunks. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds. Serve with the minty cucumber yoghurt, the hummus, and the pomegranate & sultana salsa. Enjoy, Chef!
